Home Hadith Hadith 1401
Abu Bakr wrote to me what was made compulsory by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and that was (regarding the
payments of Zakat): Neither the property of different people may be taken together nor the joint
property may be split for fear of (paying more, or receiving less) Zakat.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 24, Hadith 53
← Previous Hadith
I am a witness that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offered the Id prayer before delivering the sermon and then he
thought that the women would not be able to hear him (because of the distance), so he went to them
along with Bilal who was spreading his garment. The Prophet (ﷺ) advised and ordered them to give in
charity. So the women started giving their ornaments (in charity). (The sub-narrator Aiyub pointed
towards his ears and neck meaning that they gave ornaments from those places such as earrings and
necklaces.)
