Mishkat al-Masabih 1727

Rabi'a b. ‘Abd ar-Rahman on more than one person’s authority said,
“God’s messenger assigned as a fief to Bilal b. al-Harith al-Muzani the mines of al-Qabaliya which is in the neighbourhood of al-Fur‘,* and only zakat is levied on those mines up to the present day.”

Abu Dawud transmitted it.

* Yaqut, Mu'jam, ii, 471, says it is a village in the neighbourhood of ar-Rabadha, eight stages from Medina on the way to Mecca; some say four days’ journey.

Tawus told that a waqs of cattle was brought to Mu'adh b. Jabal and he said the Prophet did not command him to pay anything on them.

Daraqutni and Shafi' transmitted it, the latter saying that a waqs is a number less than that on which sadaqa is payable. *

* The word waqs or waqas is applied to odd numbers of animals (usually cattle) between one limit of assessment and the next.

Samura b. Jundub said God’s messenger used to order them to deduct the sadaqa from what they prepared for trade.

Abu Dawud transmitted it.
