Chapter on Time of Zakat

And from him, from Muhammad ibn Abi al-Suhban, from Ibn Abi Najran, from Muhammad ibn Samaah, from a man, from Zurarah, from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: Imam عليه السلام said: “Nothing is paid as zakat from camels, cattle, and sheep except that over which a year has passed. And whatever a year has not passed over is as though it did not exist.”
