But rather, his blood is saved by it and he is named as a Muslim by it, and if were he not to pay it, Salāt would not be Acceptable from him, and that upon you, regarding your wealth, is other than the Zakāt ’. فَقُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ وَ مَا عَلَيْنَا فِي أَمْوَالِنَا غَيْرُ الزَّكَاةِ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ أَ مَا تَسْمَعُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ الَّذِينَ فِي أَمْوالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَعْلُومٌ.
لِلسَّائِلِ وَ الْمَحْرُومِ إلى قوله وقوله عزوجل: ” ويمنعون الماعون ” هو القرض يقرضه والمعروف يصنعه ومتاع البيت يعيره ومنه الزكوة، I said, ‘May Allah -azwj Keep you well! And what is (imposed) upon us regarding our wealth, apart from the Zakāt ?’ So he -asws said: ‘Glory be to Allah -azwj !
Have you not heard Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Saying in His -azwj Book: And those in whose wealth there is a known right [70:24] For the beggar and the deprived [70:25] , up to His (s.w.t.) Words: And they are preventing the necessaries (of life) [107:7] – It is the loan he lends, and the act of kindness which he does, and provisions of the house he gives, and from it is the Zakat’.
