قَالَ: فِي كُلِّ مِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ خَمْسَةُ دَرَاهِمَ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَ إِنْ نَقَصَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ زَكَاةٌ وَ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ مِنْ كُلِّ عِشْرِينَ دِينَاراً نِصْفُ دِينَارٍ وَ إِنْ نَقَصَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْءٌ.
“Abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘On every two hundred dirham of silver Zakat is five dirham, and on less than two hundred Zakat is not due. On every twenty Dinar of gold half dinar is Zakat and on less than this Zakat is not due.’”
سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ صَائِغٌ[2] أَعْمَلُ بِيَدِي وَ إِنَّهُ يَجْتَمِعُ عِنْدِيَ الْخَمْسَةُ وَ الْعَشَرَةُ فَفِيهَا زَكَاةٌ فَقَالَ إِذَا اجْتَمَعَ مِائَتَا دِرْهَمٍ فَحَالَ عَلَيْهَا الْحَوْلُ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهَا الزَّكَاةَ.
‘I am a jeweler and I make jewelry with my own hands. Five or ten accumulates with me. Is Zakat due on it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If two hundred accumulates and it remains in your possession for one year then Zakat is due.”’
قَالا لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ الْعِشْرِينَ مِثْقَالًا مِنَ الذَّهَبِ شَيْءٌ فَإِذَا كَمَلَتْ عِشْرِينَ مِثْقَالًا فَفِيهَا نِصْفُ مِثْقَالٍ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ فَإِذَا كَمَلَتْ أَرْبَعَةً وَ عِشْرِينَ فَفِيهَا ثَلَاثَةُ أَخْمَاسِ دِينَارٍ إِلَى ثَمَانِيَةٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ فَعَلَى هَذَا الْحِسَابِ كُلَّمَا زَادَ أَرْبَعَةً
‘Zakat is not due on what is less than twenty Mithqal of gold. If it is a complete twenty Mithqal, half Mithqal is Zakat thereof. Once it becomes complete twenty-four, then three-fifth of a dinar is Zakat thereof up until it is twenty-eight. Thereafter on the increase of every four, three-fifth of a dinar is Zakat ther
إِذَا جَازَتِ الزَّكَاةُ الْعِشْرِينَ دِينَاراً فَفِي كُلِّ أَرْبَعَةِ دَنَانِيرَ عُشْرُ دِينَارٍ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Once the amount of gold becomes more than twenty dinar then on every four dinar Zakat is one out of ten dinar.’”
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الذَّهَبِ كَمْ فِيهِ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ فَقَالَ إِذَا بَلَغَ قِيمَتُهُ مِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ فَعَلَيْهِ[1] الزَّكَاةُ.
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about gold and the amount of its Zakat. He (the Imam) said, ‘Once its value amounts up to two hundred dirham then Zakat is payable.’”
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع فِي كَمْ وَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الزَّكَاةَ فَقَالَ فِي كُلِّ مِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ خَمْسَةَ دَرَاهِمَ فَإِنْ نَقَصَتْ فَلَا زَكَاةَ فِيهَا وَ فِي الذَّهَبِ فَفِي كُلِّ عِشْرِينَ دِينَاراً نِصْفُ دِينَارٍ فَإِنْ نَقَصَتْ فَلَا زَكَاةَ فِيهَا.
“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), ‘How much Zakat, the Messenger of Allah has levied? He (the Imam) said, ‘It is five dirham on every two hundred and if it is less, then Zakat is not due. On every twenty dinar of gold Zakat is half dinar and Zakat is not due on less than twenty dinar.’”
سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الذَّهَبِ وَ الْفِضَّةِ مَا أَقَلُّ مَا يَكُونُ فِيهِ الزَّكَاةُ قَالَ مِائَتَا دِرْهَمٍ وَ عِدْلُهَا مِنَ الذَّهَبِ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ النَّيِّفِ وَ الْخَمْسَةِ وَ الْعَشَرَةِ قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ أَرْبَعِينَ فَيُعْطَى مِنْ كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ دِرْهَماً دِرْهَمٌ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was once asked about the minimum Zakat on gold and silver. He (the Imam) said, ‘The minimum is two hundred and the equivalent of it of gold.’ I then asked about fifteen and change. He (the Imam) said, ‘Zakat is not due on it until it becomes forty, then for every forty Zakat is one dirham.’”
قُلْتُ لَهُ تِسْعُونَ وَ مِائَةُ دِرْهَمٍ وَ تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ دِينَاراً أَ عَلَيْهَا فِي الزَّكَاةِ شَيْءٌ فَقَالَ إِذَا اجْتَمَعَ الذَّهَبُ وَ الْفِضَّةُ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ مِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ فَفِيهَا الزَّكَاةُ لِأَنَّ عَيْنَ الْمَالِ الدَّرَاهِمُ وَ كُلُّ مَا خَلَا الدَّرَاهِمَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ مَتَاعٍ فَهُوَ عَرْضٌ مَرْدُودٌ ذَلِكَ إِلَى الدَّرَاهِمِ فِي الزَّكَاةِ وَ الدِّيَاتِ.
“I once said to abu Ibrahim (a.s.), ‘There is one hundred ninety dirham and nineteen dinar. Is there Zakat on it? He (the Imam) said, ‘If gold and silver together amount to two hundred dirham, then there is Zakat payable, because dirham represents the value of wealth and items other than dirham like gold and goods are

“I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), that I have been in a town in Khurasan called Bukhara’. I saw dirhams used there had one-third of silver, one-third of copper and one-third of lead and it was lawful among them. I would use and spend them. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said, ‘There is no offence in it if it is lawful amo
