Sahih Muslim 979f — Zakat Thresholds for Produce, Camels and Silver

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 979f

This Hadith gives a clear zakat threshold for three items: grains and dates, camels, and silver. It says there is no Sadaqa on grains or dates until they reach five wasqs. It also says there is no Sadaqa on less than five heads of camels and no Sadaqa on less than five uqiyas of silver. The message is practical and easy to apply. Zakat is not treated as due on every small amount. It starts when the amount reaches the level named in the Hadith. This is why people often search for terms like zakat nisab hadith, five wasqs hadith, and zakat on silver hadith. The Hadith teaches measured responsibility, not guesswork.
