Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Umar from
Sulayman ibn Yasar from Irak ibn Malik from Abu Hurayra that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A
muslim does not have to pay any zakat on his slave or his horse."
Muwatta Malik Book 17, Hadith 41
← Previous Hadith
Malik said, "The sunna that we are all agreed upon here (in
Madina) and which I have heard from the people of knowledge, is that
there is no zakat on any kind of fresh (soft) fruit, whether it be
pomegranates, peaches, figs or anything that is like them or not like
them as long as it is fruit."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Sulayman ibn
Yasar that the people of Syria said to Abu Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah, "Take
zakat from our horses and slaves," and he refused. Then he wrote to
Umar ibn al-Khattab and he (also) refused. Again they talked to him
and again he wrote to Umar, and Umar wrote back to him saying, "If
they want, take it from them and (then) give it back to them and give
their slaves provision."
