رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى مَتَاعاً فَكَسَدَ عَلَيْهِ مَتَاعُهُ وَ قَدْ كَانَ زَكَّى مَالَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ بِهِ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ زَكَاةٌ أَوْ حَتَّى يَبِيعَهُ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ أَمْسَكَهُ لِيَلْتَمِسَ الْفَضْلَ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْمَالِ فَعَلَيْهِ الزَّكَاةُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Mansour Bin Hazim, from Abu Al Rabih Al Shamu, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding a man who buys goods, so the goods become unsalable upon him, and he had already purified (paid <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> of) his wealth before having purchased it. Is there <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> upon him, or until (after) he sells it?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If he withheld it in order to seek the extra upon the capital wealth (from the price rise), so upon him is the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>’.
