Hadith 1206 - Bab 216 (The Excellence and Obligation of the Payment of Zakat)
Chapter 9 (The Book of Virtues)

Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "(The structure of) Islam is built on five (pillars): Testification of 'La ilaha illallah' (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), that Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is his slave and Messenger, the establishment of Salat, the payment of Zakat, the pilgrimage to the House of Allah (Ka'bah), and Saum during the month of Ramadan."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Selon Ibn "Omar (das), le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) a dit: «L"Islam a été bâti sur cinq piliers: 1. L"attestation qu"il n"y a de dieu que Dieu et que Mohammad est l"esclave et le Messager de Dieu. 2. La prière.

Hadith 1207 - Bab 216 (The Excellence and Obligation of the Payment of Zakat)
Chapter 9 (The Book of Virtues)

Talhah bin 'Ubaidullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A person with dishevelled hair, one of the people of Najd, came to the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him). We heard the humming of his voice but could not fully understand what he was saying, till he approached close to the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him). Then I came to know that he was asking about Islam. The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said: "There are five (obligatory) Salat during the day and the night." He said: "Am I obliged to perform any other (Salat) besides these?" The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "No, but whatever you observe voluntarily." He (Peace be upon him) added, "There is the Saum of Ramadan." The inquirer asked: "Am I obliged to do anything besides this?" The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "No, but whatever you do out of your own free will. You may observe voluntary fasting." And the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) told him about the Zakat (obligatory charity). The inquirer asked: "Am I obliged to pay anything besides this?" The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "No, but whatever you pay voluntarily out of your own free will." That man turned back saying: "By Allah! I will neither make any addition to this nor will I decrease anything from it." (Upon hearing this) the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) remarked, "He is successful if he proves truthful (to what he is saying)."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Talha (das) a dit: «Un homme vint trouver le Messager de Dieu (bsdl). Il appartenait à la tribu de Nejd, avait les cheveux en broussaille et criait d"une voix forte et inintelligible. Quand il fut près du Messager de Dieu (bsdl), il s"avéra qu"il venait se renseigner sur l"Islam. Le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) lui dit: «Cinq prières de jour et de nuit». L"autre dit: «Dois-je en faire d"autres?». Il dit: «Non, à moins que tu y sois volontaire». «Le jeûne de Ramadan». L"autre dit: «Dois-je jeûner d"autres jours?». Il dit: «Non, à moins que tu y sois volontaire». «L"acquittement de l"aumône légale (zakat)». L"autre dit: «Dois-je payer autre chose?». Il dit: «Dois-je payer autre chose?». Il dit: «Non, à moins que tu y sois volontaire». L"homme s"en alla en disant: «Par Dieu! Je n"ajouterai rien à cela et je n"en diminuerai rien». Le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) dit: «S"il est sincère dans ce qu"il a dit, il a récolté le succès».

Chapter 9 (The Book of Virtues)

Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) appointed Mu'adh (May Allah be pleased with him) as governor of Yemen, and at the time of his departure, he instructed him thus: "First of all, call the people to testify 'La ilaha illallah' (there is no true god except Allah) and that I (Muhammad) am the Messenger of Allah, and if they accept this (declaration of Faith), then tell them that Allah has enjoined upon them five Salat during the day and night; and if they obey you, tell them that Allah has made the payment of Zakat obligatory upon them. It should be collected from their rich and distributed among their poor."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Selon Ibn "Abbàs (das), le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) envoya Mou"àdh (das) au Yémen et lui dit: «Invite-les à attester qu"il n"y a de dieu que Dieu et que je suis le Messager de Dieu. S"ils y répondent, apprends-leur que Dieu exalté leur a prescrit cinq prières de jour et de nuit. S"ils acceptent cela, apprends-leur qu"il leur a prescrit une aumône qu"on prend de leurs riches pour lîs redistribuer à leurs pauvres».

S"ils font tout cela ils ont mis à l"abri de moi leurs sangs et leurs biens sauf pour ce qui en revient de droit à l"Islam. Puis c"est à Dieu de leur demander compte (sur la sincérité de leur conversion)».

Chapter 9 (The Book of Virtues)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) passed away, Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) was appointed as his successor (caliph). Amongst the Arabs some men apostatised. Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) resolved to fight them. 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) said to Abu Bakr: "How can you fight them when the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) has declared: 'I have been commanded to fight people till they testify La ilaha illallah (there is no true god except Allah); and if they do it, their blood (life) and property are secured except when justified by law, and it is for Allah to call them to account." Upon this Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah, I would definitely fight him who makes distinction between Salat and the Zakat, because it is an obligation upon the rich to pay Zakat. By Allah I will fight them even to secure the piece of rope which they used to give to the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him)." 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) said: "I realized that Allah opened the heart of Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) for fighting those who refused to pay Zakat, and I fully recognized that Abu Bakr

Abou Hourayra (das) a dit: «Lorsque mourut le Messager de Dieu (bsdl), qu"Abou Bakr (das) lui succéda et qu"un certain nombre de tribus arabes apostasièrent, "Omar (das) a dit: «Comment combattrais-tu ces gens alors que le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) a dit: «J"ai reçu l"ordre de combattre les gens jusqu"à ce qu"ils disent: «II n"y a de dieu que Dieu», et celui qui l"a dit a mis à l"abri de moi ses biens et sa vie sauf pour ce qui en revient de droit à l"Islam, et c"est à Dieu de lui demander des comptes?». Abou Bakr lui dit: «Par Dieu! Je combattrai sûrement tous ceux qui font une différence entre la prière et l"aumône légale car l"aumône est la redevance des biens. Par Dieu! S"ils refusent de me donner un bout de corde qu"ils donnaient au Messager de Dieu (bsdl), je les combattrai à cause de lui». "Omar dit alors: «Par Dieu! Je ne tardai pas à comprendre que c"était Dieu qui avait fait choisir à Abou Bakr la solution du combat et j"ai su qu"il avait raison».

He (the bedouin) said: "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will never add anything to these (obligations)." When he turned his back, the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, "He who wants to see a man from the dwellers of Jannah, let him look at him (bedouin)."

[Al- Bukhari and Muslim].

Selon Abou Hourayra (das), un Bédouin vint dire au .Prophète (bsdl): «O Messager de Dieu! Indique-moi une œuvre qui me fasse entrer au Paradis». Il lui dit: «Tu adores Dieu sans rien Lui associer.

Hadith 1214 - Bab 216 (The Excellence and Obligation of the Payment of Zakat)
Chapter 9 (The Book of Virtues)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "Any person who possesses gold or silver and does not pay what is due on it (i.e., the Zakat); on the Day of Resurrection, sheets of silver and gold would be heated for him in the fire of Hell and with them his flank, forehead and back will be branded. When they cool down, they will be heated again and the same process will be repeated during the day the measure whereof will be fifty thousand years. (This would go on) until Judgement is pronounced among (Allah's) slaves, and he will be shown his final abode, either to Jannah or to Hell." It was asked, "How about someone who owns camels and does not pay what is due on him (i.e., their Zakat)?" He (Peace be upon him) replied, "In the same way the owner of camels who does not discharge what is due in respect of them (their due includes their milking on the day when they are taken to water) will be thrown on his face or on his back in a vast desert plain on the Day of Resurrection and they will trample upon him with their hoofs and bite him with their teeth. As often as the first of them passes him, the last of them will be made to return during a day the measure whereof will be fifty thousand years, until Judgement is pronounced among (Allah's) slaves, he will be shown his final abode either to Jannah or to Hell." It was (again) asked: "O Messenger of Allah, what about cows (cattle) and sheep?" He (Peace be upon him) said, "If anyone who possesses cattle and sheep and does not pay what is due on them (i.e., their Zakat); on the Day of Resurrection, he will be thrown on his face in a vast plain desert. He will find none of the animals missing with twisted horns, without horns or with a broken horn, and they will gore him with their horns and trample upon him with their hoofs. As often as the first of them passes him, the last of them will be made to return to him during a day the measure whereof will be fifty thousand years, until Judgement is pronounced among (Allah's) slaves; and he will be shown his final abode either to Jannah or to Hell." It was asked: "O Messenger of Allah, what about the horses?" Upon this he (Peace be upon him) said, "The horses are of three types. One, which is a burden for the owner; another which is a shield, and another one which makes its owner entitled to reward. The one for whom these are a burden is the person who rears them for show or for pride or for causing injury to the sentiments of the Muslims. They will be a cause of torment for their owners. The one for whom these are a shield is the person who rears them for the sake of Allah but does not forget the Right of Allah concerning their backs and their necks (i.e., he lets a needy ride on them), and so they are a shield for him. Those which bring reward to the one who rears them in pastures and gardens are the ones that are used in the Cause of Allah (Jihad) by the Muslims. Whatever they eat from the meadows and the gardens will be recorded on his behalf as good deeds so much so that their droppings and urine will be counted for an equal number of good deeds for him. Even when they break their tying rope and every height from which they climb and every hoofprint which they leave will be counted as a good deed on behalf of the owner. When their owner leads them through a stream from which they drink, though he does not intend to quench their thirst, yet Allah would record for him the quantity (of water) of what they would drink on his behalf as good deeds." It was asked: "O Messenger of Allah, what about the donkeys?" Upon this he (Peace be upon him) said, "Nothing has been revealed to me in regard to the donkeys in particular except this one Verse of a comprehensive nature: "So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it. And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it."' (99: 8,9).

[Al- Bukhari and Muslim].

Selon Abou Hourayra (das) le Messager de Dieu (bsdl) a dit: «Chaque fois que celui qui possède de l"or et de l"argent n"en acquitte pas l"aumône qui se doit, on lui en fabrique le jour de la résurrection des plaques de feu qu"on chauffe encore plus au feu de l"Enfer. On lui brûle avec elles son côté, son front et son dos. Dès qu"elles se refroidissent on les reporte pour lui en Enfer dans une journée évaluée à cinquante mille ans jusqu"à la fin du jugement universel. Il voit alors sa voie ou bien au Paradis, ou bien en Enfer». On dit: «O Messager de Dieu! Cela concerne-t-il aussi les chameaux?» Il dit: «Chaque fois qu"un propriétaire de chameaux ne s"acquitte pas de leur droit (entre dans ce droit l"obligation de traire les chamelles quand on les conduit à l"eau et d"en distribuer le lait aux passants), on 1’étend sur le sol sur un plateau désertique le jour de la résurrection et on laisse tous ses chameaux, y compris les plus jeunes, le piétiner de leurs sabots après les avoir engraissés au maximum. Ils passent ainsi et repassent à tour de rôle sur son corps dans une journée évaluée à cinquante mille ans jusqu"à la fin du jugement universel. Il voit alors sa voie au Paradis ou bien en Enfer». On dit: «O Messager de Dieu! Est-ce aussi les bovins et les ovins?». Il dit: «Chaque fois que le propriétaire de bovins ou d"ovins ne s"acquitte pas de leur droit, il est étendu le jour de la résurrection sur un plateau désertique. Toutes ses bêtes (il n"en manquera aucune et il n"y aura parmi elles aucune aux cornes recourbées, ou aux cornes manquantes ou brisées) toutes ses bêtes le frapperont de leurs cornes et le piétineront de leurs sabots. Elles passent ainsi et repassent sur son corps à tout de rôle en un jour évalué à cinquante mille ans, jusqu"à la fin du jugement universel. Il voit alors sa voie ou bien au Paradis, ou bien en Enfer». On dit: «O Messager de Dieu! Et les chevaux?» Il dit: «Les chevaux sont de trois catégories: Certains sont un lourd péché pour leur propriétaire. D"autres lui sont un paravent. D"autres enfin lui sont une source de salaire. Pour ce qui est des premiers, ce sont ceux qu"on a destinés à la parade, à la vanité et à combattre les Musulmans. Ils sont donc pour lui un lourd péché. Quant aux seconds, ce sont ceux qu"on a destinés au service de Dieu (pour la guerre sainte), qu"on n"a utilisés que dans les choses licites. On n"a pas omis de leur fournir les soins auxquels Dieu leur a donné droit. Ce sont alors un paravent pour leur propriétaire. Quant à ceux qui lui rapportent un salaire, c"est le cas d"un homme qui les a parqués dans un pré (ou un jardin) en les destinant à la guerre sainte pour la défense des Musulmans. Pour tout brin d"herbe qu"ils mangent de ce pré (ou de ce jardin) on lui inscrit une bonne action. De même qu"on lui inscrit des bonnes actions égales en nombre à leurs crottes et à leurs urines. Toutes les fois qu"ils rompent leur corde pour courir une ou deux étapes, il a autant de bonnes actions que les marques de leurs sabots. Chaque fois qu"il les mène à boire à la rivière, Dieu lui inscrit autant de bonnes actions que les gorgées qu"ils ont bues. On dit: «O Messager de Dieu! Et les ânes?» Il dit: «Rien ne m"a été descendu (révélé) au sujet des ânes si ce n"est ce verset unique dans son genre et tellement exhaustif: «Celui qui fait dans le bien le poids d"un grain de poussière le verra et celui qui fait dans le mal le poids d"un grain de poussière le verra».
