Chapter: Estimating the date-fruits on the palms for Zakat

Chain of Narration (Isnad)

Narrated by Abu Hameed al-Sa'idi al-Ansari 4 narrators

Sahl bin Bkar bin Bashr Atbāʿ Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn d. 228 AH Wahayb bin Khalid bin 'Ajlan al-Bahli Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn d. 165 AH or after 'Amr bin Yahya bin 'Ammara Tābiʿī d. after 130 AH Abu Hameed al-Sa'idi al-Ansari Companion d. ~60 AH

Narrated Abu Humaid As-Sa`idi:We took part in the holy battle of Tabuk in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) and when we arrived at the Wadi-al-Qura, there was a woman in her garden. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked his companions to estimate the amount of the fruits in the garden, and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) estimated it at ten Awsuq (One Wasaq = 60 Sa's) and 1 Sa'= 3 kg. approximately). The Prophet (ﷺ) said to that lady, "Check what your garden will yield." When we reached Tabuk, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There will be a strong wind tonight and so no one should stand and whoever has a camel, should fasten it." So we fastened our camels. A strong wind blew at night and a man stood up and he was blown away to a mountain called Taiy, The King of Aila sent a white mule and a sheet for wearing to the Prophet (ﷺ) as a present, and wrote to the Prophet (ﷺ) that his people would stay in their place (and will pay Jizya taxation.) (1) When the Prophet (ﷺ) reached Wadi-al- Qura he asked that woman how much her garden had yielded. She said, "Ten Awsuq," and that was what Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had estimated. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I want to reach Medina quickly, and whoever among you wants to accompany me, should hurry up." The sub-narrator Ibn Bakkar said something which meant: When the Prophet (p.b.u.h) saw Medina he said, "This is Taba." And when he saw the mountain of Uhud, he said, "This mountain loves us and we love it. Shall I tell you of the best amongst the Ansar?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "The family of Bani-n-Najjar, and then the family of Bani Sa`ida or Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj. (The above-mentioned are the best) but there is goodness in all the families of Ansar."

It is related that Abu Humayd as-Sa'idi said, "We went on the expedition of Tabuk with the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. When he came to Wadi'l-Qura, there was a woman in a walled garden she owned. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to his Companions, 'Make an estimation.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, estimated that there were ten wasqs. He said to her, 'Calculate what it yields.' When we came to Tabuk, he said, 'There will be a strong gale tonight, so no one should stand up and everyone who has a camel should hobble it.' We hobbled them and a strong gale blew up and a man stood up and was blown down the mountain of Tayy'. The King of Ayla gave the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, a white mule and clothed him in a cloak. He wrote to him about their land. When he returned to Wadi'l-Qura, he said to the woman, 'How much did your garden produce?' She said, 'Ten wasqs,' which was as the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had estimated. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'I am hurrying back to Madina so anyone who wants to come with me should make haste.'" Then Ibn Bakkar said something which means, "He looked down on Madina and said, 'This is Taba.' When he saw Uhud, he said, 'This is a mountain which loves us and which we love. Shall I tell you which are the best households of the Ansar?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'The households of the Banu'n-Najjr, then the those of the Banu 'Abdu'l-Ashhal, then of the Banu Sa'ida or of the Banu'l-Harith ibn al-Khazraj, but it (i.e. good) is in all the households of the Ansar.'" [Taba is one of the names of Madina. It means "good, wholesome".] 'Amr related, "Then the house of the Banu'l-Harith, then the Banu Sa'ida." It is related from Ibn 'Abbas from his father that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Uhud is a mountain which loves us and which we love."
