the report. Furthermore, the thresholds (nusub) of Zakat are established only by text (nass) and divine ordinance (tawqif), and there is neither text nor ordinance for what they mentioned; therefore, it is not established. Their analogy is also invalid, for thirty-five sheep are equivalent to five camels in the hady (sacrificial animals), yet there is no Zakat on them. Once this is established, there is no Zakat on non-grazing cattle according to the opinion of the majority. It has been narrated from Malik that there is charity on working animals and fodder-fed animals, similar to his view on camels. The discussion regarding him has already preceded. It was narrated from 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him—the narrator said: I think he meant from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace—regarding the charity of cattle: "There is no charity due on working animals." Recorded by Abu Dawood (3). It was also narrated from 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather, from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that he said: "There is no charity on working cattle" (4). This is a restrictive condition (muqayyad) upon which the absolute (mutlaq) is applied. It was narrated from 'Ali, Mu'adh, and Jabir that they said: "There is no charity on working cattle" (5). This is also because the characteristic of growth (nama') is considered in Zakat, and it is found only in grazing animals.
403 - Issue: He said: (And if he owns thirty cattle, and grazes them for most of the year, there is due on them a tab'i or a tab'iyya, up to thirty-nine. When they reach forty, there is due on them a musinna, up to fifty-nine. When they reach sixty, there is due on them two tab'is, up to sixty-nine. When they reach seventy, there is due on them a musinna and a tab'i. If they increase beyond that, then in every thirty there is a tab'i, and in every forty there is a musinna.)
The tab'i is that which is one year old and has entered its second year. It was called that because it follows (yatba'u) its mother.

The hadith of 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, except that he mentioned "camels" instead of "cattle". He then said: This is what Ghalib al-Qattan said, and it was narrated regarding cattle from Ibn 'Abbas in a marfu' form, and from Mu'adh ibn Jabal in a mawquf form, and there is weakness in their chains of narration; it is the most famous of what was narrated regarding it, both in musnad and mawquf form. See: Talkhis al-Habir 2/157. (5) Recorded by Ibn Abi Shaybah in: The Chapter on working cattle, regarding those who said there is no charity on them, from the Book of Zakat. Al-Musannaf 3/130, 131. The phrasing of Jabir is "There is no charity on animals used for plowing (al-muthira)."
الخَبَرِ، ولأنَّ نُصُبَ الزكاةِ إنَّما ثَبَتَتْ بالنَّصِّ والتَّوْقِيفِ، وليس فيما ذَكَرَاهُ (٢) نَصٌّ ولا تَوْقِيفٌ، فلا يَثْبُتُ، وقِيَاسُهم فَاسِدٌ، فإنَّ خَمْسًا وثَلَاثِينَ من الغَنَمِ تَعْدِلُ خَمْسًا من الإِبِلِ فى الهَدْىِ، ولا زكاةَ فيها. إذا ثَبَتَ هذا فإنَّه لا زكاةَ فى غيرِ السَّائِمَةِ من البَقَرِ فى قَوْلِ الجُمْهُورِ. وحُكِىَ عن مَالِكٍ أنَّ فى العَوَامِلِ والمَعْلُوفَةِ صَدَقَةٌ، كَقَوْلِه فى الإِبِلِ. وقد تَقَدَّمَ الكَلامُ معه. وَرُوِىَ عن علىٍّ، رَضِىَ اللهُ عنه، قال الرَّاوِى: أحْسَبُه عن النَّبِىِّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- فى صَدَقَةِ البَقَرِ، قال: "ولَيْسَ فى العَوَامِلِ شَىْءٌ". رَوَاه أبو داودَ (٣). وَرُوِىَ عن عَمْرِو بن شُعَيْبٍ، عن أَبِيهِ، عن جَدِّهِ، عن النَّبِىِّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ-، قال: "لَيْسَ فى البَقَرِ العَوَامِلِ صَدَقَةٌ" (٤). وهذا مُقَيَّدٌ يُحْمَلُ عليه المُطْلَقُ. وَرُوِىَ عن علىٍّ، ومُعَاذٍ، وجابرٍ، أَنَّهم قالوا: لا صَدَقَةَ فى البَقَرِ العَوَامِلِ (٥). ولأنَّ صِفَةَ النَّمَاءِ مُعْتَبَرَةٌ فى الزكاةِ، ولا يُوجَدُ إلَّا فى السَّائِمَةِ.
٤٠٣ - مسألة؛ قال: (وإذا مَلَكَ الثَّلَاثِينَ من البَقَرِ، فأَسَامَها أكْثَرَ السَّنَةِ، فَفِيهَا تَبِيعٌ أو تَبِيعَةٌ، إلى تِسْعٍ وثَلَاثِينَ، فَإذَا بَلَغَتْ أَرْبَعِينَ، فَفِيهَا مُسِنَّةٌ، إلى تِسْعٍ وخَمْسِينَ، فَإذَا بَلَغَتْ سِتِّينَ، فَفِيهَا تَبِيعَانِ، إلى تِسْعٍ وسِتِّينَ، فَإذَا بَلَغَتْ سَبْعِينَ، فَفِيهَا تَبِيعٌ ومُسِنَّةٌ، فَإذَا زَادَتْ، فَفِى كُلِّ ثَلَاثِينَ تَبِيعٌ، وفى كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ مُسِنَّةٌ)
