حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ صَاحِبُ شُعْبَةَ لَوْ غَيْرُ حَكِيمٍ حَدَّثَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ سُفْيَانُ وَمَا لِحَكِيمٍ لاَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْهُ شُعْبَةُ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ سَمِعْتُ زُبَيْدًا يُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا وَبِهِ يَقُولُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ وَأَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ ‏.‏ قَالُوا إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ الرَّجُلِ خَمْسُونَ دِرْهَمًا لَمْ تَحِلَّ لَهُ الصَّدَقَةُ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَلَمْ يَذْهَبْ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ إِلَى حَدِيثِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ وَوَسَّعُوا فِي هَذَا وَقَالُوا إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَهُ خَمْسُونَ دِرْهَمًا أَوْ أَكْثَرُ وَهُوَ مُحْتَاجٌ فَلَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَغَيْرِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْفِقْهِ وَالْعِلْمِ ‏.‏

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Mahmud ibn Ghaylan told us: Yahya ibn Adam told us: Sufyan told us this hadith. Abdullah ibn Uthman, a companion of Shubah, said to him: ‘If only someone other than Hakim had narrated this hadith.’ Sufyan said: ‘Why should Hakim not narrate it, when Shubah narrated from him?’ He replied: ‘Yes.’ Sufyan said: ‘I heard Zubayd narrate this from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid.’ Some of our scholars follow this report; it is also the view of al-Thawri, Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak, Ahmad, and Ishaq. They said that if a man has fifty dirhams, charity is not lawful for him. Some scholars did not follow the hadith of Hakim ibn Jubayr and took a more accommodating view: if a man has fifty dirhams or more but remains in need, he may take zakah. This is the view of al-Shafii and other jurists and scholars.
