Summary of Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith 1814
This Hadith reports that when Mu'adh bin Jabal was sent to Yemen, the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم told him to take grains from grains, sheep from sheep, camels from camels, and cows from cows. The message is direct: the Sadaqah mentioned here is taken from the same kind as the wealth being assessed. The Hadith does not discuss replacement values or other payment forms, so the explanation should stay with its wording. It is a useful narration for searches about Zakat from same type, grain Zakat hadith, and livestock Zakat hadith. It shows a simple method for taking Zakat from the category in question.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Hadith links Zakat to the same kind of wealth.
