Well, Shaykh, the hadith of Abu Dawud from Samurah: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Well, Shaykh, the hadith of Abu Dawud from Samurah: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to order us to give zakah from what we set aside for sale"?
The Shaykh : Yes, this hadith is among those in Abu Dawud that are weak. There is obscurity in its chain of narration; therefore, it does not serve as a proof. There is no doubt that the practical Sunnah is that the wealthy did not give zakah on their wealth according to the detailed breakdown explained earlier. This hadith, despite the weakness of its chain, contradicts the practical Sunnah followed by our righteous predecessors. Recently, we mentioned what Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad and elsewhere.
Yes.
