Zakat on Gold and Silver

1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ فِي كُلِّ مِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ خَمْسَةُ دَرَاهِمَ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَإِنْ نَقَصَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ زَكَاةٌ وَمِنَ الذَّهَبِ مِنْ كُلِّ عِشْرِينَ دِينَاراً نِصْفُ دِينَارٍ وَإِنْ نَقَصَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ.
1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama‘ah who has said the following: “Abu ’Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘On every two hundred dirham of silver Zakat is five dirham, and on less than two hundred Zakat is not due. On every twenty Dinar of gold half dinar is Zakat and on less than this Zakat is not due.’”
