 abi-ʿAbd-ar-Raḥmân. According to az-Zuhri all spices and pulse is subject to zakât. Mâlik holds that no ṣadaḳah is due on pears, plums, pomegranates or the rest of the fresh fruits. The same view is held by ibn-abi-Laila. According to abu-Yûsuf, there is no ṣadaḳah except on what can be measured by al-ḳafîz. Abu-az-Zinâd ibn-abi-Dhiʾb and ibn-abi-Sabrah hold that no ṣadaḳah is taken on vegetables and fruits, but there is ṣadaḳah on their prices the moment they are sold.

A tradition was communicated to me by ʿAbbâs ibn-Hishâm on the authority of his grandfather to the effect that the Prophet assigned ʿUthmân ibn-abi-l-ʿÂṣi ath-Thaḳafi as his ʿâmil in aṭ-Ṭâʾif.
