Hadith 2022
۞
3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama‘ah who has said the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who has an asset in stock which remains with him for one year or more time. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not subject to Zakat until he sells it, unless he has paid for it from his capital and has kept it on hold expecting an increase. If that is the case then it is subject to Zakat. If he has not paid for it from his capital, it is not subject to Zakat until he sells it. If he has kept it in stock in substance when he sells it then he is required to pay Zakat of one year only.’”
3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ الْمَتَاعُ مَوْضُوعاً فَيَمْكُثُ عِنْدَهُ السَّنَةَ وَالسَّنَتَيْنِ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ زَكَاةٌ حَتَّى يَبِيعَهُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ أُعْطِيَ بِهِ رَأْسَ مَالِهِ فَيَمْنَعَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْتِمَاسُ الْفَضْلِ فَإِذَا هُوَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ وَجَبَتْ فِيهِ الزَّكَاةُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أُعْطِيَ بِهِ رَأْسَ مَالِهِ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ زَكَاةٌ حَتَّى يَبِيعَهُ وَإِنْ حَبَسَهُ بِمَا حَبَسَهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ بَاعَهُ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِ زَكَاةُ سَنَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ.
