الشَّاةِ فِي كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ شَاةً شَاةٌ وَ لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ الْأَرْبَعِينَ شَيْءٌ ثُمَّ لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ عِشْرِينَ وَ مِائَةً فَإِذَا بَلَغَتْ عِشْرِينَ وَ مِائَةً فَفِيهَا مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ شَاةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا زَادَتْ عَلَى مِائَةٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ فَفِيهَا شَاتَانِ وَ لَيْسَ فِيهَا أَكْثَرُ مِنْ شَاتَيْنِ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ مِائَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْمِائَتَيْنِ فَفِيهَا مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ فَإِذَا زَادَتْ عَلَى الْمِائَتَيْنِ شَاةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَفِيهَا ثَلَاثُ شِيَاهٍ ثُمَّ لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ ثَلَاثَمِائَةٍ فَإِذَا بَلَغَتْ ثَلَاثَمِائَةٍ فَفِيهَا مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثُ شِيَاهٍ فَإِذَا زَادَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ فَفِيهَا أَرْبَعُ شِيَاهٍ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ أَرْبَعَمِائَةٍ فَإِذَا تَمَّتْ أَرْبَعُمِائَةٍ كَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ مِائَةٍ شَاةٌ وَ سَقَطَ الْأَمْرُ الْأَوَّلُ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَى مَا دُونَ الْمِائَةِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ وَ لَيْسَ فِي النَّيِّفِ شَيْءٌ وَ قَالَا كُلُّ مَا لَمْ يَحُلْ عَلَيْهِ الْحَوْلُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِ فَلَا شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا حَالَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَوْلُ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ.
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara and Muhammad Bin Muslim, and Abu Baseer, and Bureyd and Al Fuzayl, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> and Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding the sheep: ‘Regarding every forty sheep, is one sheep (as <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>), and there is nothing regarding what is below forty. Then there would be nothing regarding it until it reaches one hundred and twenty. So when it does reach one hundred and twenty, so regarding these would be similar to that one sheep. So when it exceeds upon one hundred and twenty, so regarding these would be two sheep. And there would be nothing more than two sheep until it reaches two hundred. So when it does reach two hundred, so regarding these would be similar to that. So when it exceed upon two hundred by one sheep, so regarding these would be three sheep. Then there would not be anything more than that until it reaches three hundred. So when it does reach three hundred, so regarding these would be three sheep similar to that. So when it exceed by one, so regarding these would be four sheep until it reaches four hundred. So when the four hundred is complete, that would be upon every one hudred, one sheep, and the former matter would be dropped. And there is nothing upon what is below the one hundred after that, and there is nothing regarding the in-betweeners’. And they<sup>asws</sup> both said: ‘Everything upon which the year has not passed by, so there is nothing upon it. So when the year does pass by, it would be Obligated upon it’.
