Al-Mughni by Ibn Qudama - Edited by Al-Turki

may Allah bless him and grant him peace - that he said: "When the silver reaches two hundred, there are five dirhams in it, then there is nothing on it until it reaches forty dirhams." This is a definitive text (nass). Furthermore, because there is an exemption (‘afw) for it at the initial stage, there is [also] an exemption after the threshold (nisab), like livestock. Our argument is what was narrated from ‘Ali, from the Prophet - may Allah bless him and grant him peace - that he said: "Bring a quarter of a tenth from every forty dirhams, [one] dirham, and you owe nothing until it reaches two hundred. When it is two hundred dirhams, there are five dirhams in it, and whatever exceeds that is by [the same] calculation." Narrated by al-Athram and al-Daraqutni. It was also narrated by Abu Dawud, with his chain of transmission from ‘Asim ibn Damrah, [from] al-Harith, from ‘Ali, except that he said: I reckon it is from the Prophet - may Allah bless him and grant him peace. This has also been narrated from ‘Ali and Ibn ‘Umar as being suspended (mawquf) upon them, and we do not know of any opposing view from the Companions, so it constitutes consensus (ijma‘). Moreover, because it is wealth used for trade, it has no exemption after the threshold, like crops. As for what they used as evidence from the first report, it is an argument based on a logical implication (dalil al-khitab), and the explicit statement (mantuq) takes precedence over it. The other hadith is narrated by Abu al-‘Atuf al-Jarrah ibn Minhal, and his hadith is discarded (matruk). Al-Daraqutni said—and Malik said—that he is a liar among the liars (dajjal min al-dajajilah). It is narrated by him from ‘Ubadah ibn Nusayy, from Mu‘adh, and ‘Ubadah did not meet Mu‘adh, so it is an interrupted chain (mursal). Furthermore, livestock is difficult to partition, unlike currency.
