Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara and Muhammad Bin Muslim and Abu Baseer, and Bureyd Al Ijaly, and Al Fuzayla, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> and Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> both having said regarding the cows: ‘In every thirty cows is one Tabi’e (baby cow) a year old, and there is nothing regarding less than that; and regarding forty cows, is a two year old cow, and there is nothing regarding what is between the thirty to the forty until it reaches forty. So when it does reach forty, so regarding these would be a two year old cow, and there would be nothing regarding what is between the forty up to the sixty. So when it does reach the sixty, so regarding these would be two one-year olds up to seventy. So when it reaches seventy, so regarding these would be a one-year old and a two-year old up to eighty. So when it does reach eighty, so regarding every forty would be a two-year old up to ninety. So when it reaches ninety, so regarding these would be three one-year olds. So when it reaches one hundred and twenty and two hundred, so regarding every forty would be a two year old. Then the cows would be returned (accounted) upon their ages. And there is nothing upon the in between, nor upon the fractions, nor upon the working cows, but rather, the charity (<span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>) is upon the grazing ones. And everything upon which the year has not passed in the possession of its lord, so there is nothing upon it until the year passes by upon it. So when the year passes by upon it, it (<span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>) would be Obligated upon it’.
