كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَقْسِمُ صَدَقَةَ أَهْلِ الْبَوَادِي فِي أَهْلِ الْبَوَادِي وَ صَدَقَةَ أَهْلِ الْحَضَرِ فِي أَهْلِ الْحَضَرِ وَ لَا يَقْسِمُهَا بَيْنَهُمْ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ إِنَّمَا يَقْسِمُهَا عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا يَحْضُرُهُ مِنْهُمْ وَ مَا يَرَى لَيْسَ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ مُوَقَّتٌ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, from Zurara, from Abdul Kareem Bin Utba Al Hashimy, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> used to distribute charity (<span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>) of the people of the valleys, among the people of the valleys, and the charity (<span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>) of the people of the town, among the people of the town, and he<sup>saww</sup> did not distribute between them with the equality. But rather, he<sup>saww</sup> distributed it upon those who were present from them, and he<sup>saww</sup> did not see anything fixed in that’.
