{1} Narrated by Bukhaaree from the hadeeth of Baraa`a.
And by at-Tirmidhee from the hadeeth of ibn Abbaas and he authenticated it.
{2} I say: there are a number of Meccan verses which
mention zakaah, sometimes enjoining it, sometimes praising the one who gives it, and
sometimes condemning the one who leaves it. So in Surah Muzzammil, "establish
the prayer and give the zakaah" [73:20], and in Surahs Naml and Luqmaan,
"Those who establish the prayers and give zakaah and believe with certainty in the
Hereafter." [27:3, 31:4]. And in surah Fussilaat, "And woe to the
polytheists, those who do not give the zakaah, and they are disbelievers in the
Hereafter," [41:6-7].
It is obvious that the meaning of zakaah
in these verses is obligatory sadaqah
without a set limit, and in Madeenah the limits were set.
Allaah knows best.
{3} Indicating the hadeeth of Jibraa’eel reported
in the Two Saheehs from the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah, and reported by Muslim from
the hadeeth of ibn Umar. See hadeeth no.119 in ‘Kitaab al-Eemaan’ of
ibn Abee Shaybah.
{4}Indicating the hadeeth of Mu`aawiyah bin al-Hakm
al-Silmee in which the Prophet (sallallaahu `alaihi wasallam) asked her, "where is Allaah", reported by Muslim. See ibn Abee Shaybah
no.84
{4a} Reported by Muslim.
{5} I say: it’s isnaad is saheeh according to the
conditions of Bukhaaree and Muslim and they reported it.
{6} A group report it, amongst them Haakim (1/21) who
authenticated it to the condition of Bukhaaree and adh-Dhahabee agreed. And it
is as they said, as I have researched in ‘Silsilah al-Ahaadeeth
as-Saheehah."
{7} It’s isnaad is saheeh according to the
conditions of Muslim and he reported it from Jareer from Suhail. And ibn Ijlaan
followed him reporting from ibn Deenaar. See ibn Abee Shaybah (no. 66)
{8} It’s chain of narration is authentic according
to the criteria of Bukhaaree and Muslim and they reported it. In the report of
Muslim via the route of Abu Umais from Qais their occurs "it was revealed
upon the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu `alaihi wasallam) on Arafah on the day of Jumu`ah."
{9} I.e. these three occasions fell on the same day
[Trans.]
{10} It’s chain of narration is mursal saheeh.
{11} Agreed upon from the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah.
Consult ibn Abee Shaybah (no.66)
{12} Reported by al-Bazzaar and ibn Battah in
'al-Ibaanah' from Abu Sa'eed from the Messenger (sallallaahu `alaihi wasallam) with a sanad containing
someone who condition is unknown.
{13} Reported by Abu Dawood, ibn Maajah, and others from
Abu Umaamah al-Haarithee from the Messenger (sallallaahu `alaihi wasallam) . Al-Haakim declared it saheeh
and adh-Dhahabee agreed.
{14} Hasan hadeeth and al-Haakim declared it saheeh, and
I have investigated it in 'Silsilah Ahaadeeth as-Saheehah'
{15} Reported as a hadeeth of the Messenger (sallallaahu `alaihi wasallam) and as
a report from a Companion. And the strongest opinion is that it is a report from
a Companion alongwith the fact that it's chain of narration contains someone who
became confused. Consult the discussion and investigation concerning this in my
footnotes to 'al-Kalim at-Tayyib' of ibn Taymiyyah (no.195), and hadeeth (no.
125) of 'Eemaan' of ibn Abee Shaybah. [It is in 'Saheeh Kalim at-Tayyib' under
the chapter on 'salaam' as a narration of Ammaar bin Yaasir - Trans.]
{16} Reported by Hasan bin Urfah in his 'Juz' (2/90) from
Umru bin Shu`ayb from his father from his grandfather from the Messenger, and
it's chain of narration is da`eef. And al-Haakim reported it from the hadeeth of
Umar and declared it saheeh and adh-Dhahabee refuted him. And all of this is
explained in 'Silsilah Ahaadeeth as-Da`eefah'
{17} A saheeh hadeeth, and a group of scholars have
authenticated it, and it is reported by ibn Abee Shaybah from the hadeeth of Abu
Hurayrah, Aa'ishah, and Hasan al-Basri, so consult our footnotes to it (no.'s
17, 20, 160)
{18} Reported by Ahmad (2/352-353, 364) from the hadeeth
of Makhool from Abu Hurayrah from the Messenger (sallallaahu `alaihi wasallam) . And Makhool did not hear
from Abu Hurayrah (RA).
{19} Agreed upon from the hadeeth of Anas (RA) and it is
reported by ibn Abee Shaybah (no. 35)
{20} Reported by Muslim and others from the hadeeth of
Abu Hurayrah, and it is investigated in 'Silsilah Ahaadeeth as-Saheehah'
{21} And it is a report of Alee (RA) narrated by ibn Abee
Shaybah (no.8) and it's chain of narration is munqati' as I have explained
there.
{22} I say: you will see a good number of them in the
book of ibn Abee Shaybah.
{23} The complete verse is "those who
establish the prayer, and spend of that which We have provided them. They are in truth the
believers."
