اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْفِقُوا مِنْ طَيِّباتِ ما كَسَبْتُمْ وَ مِمَّا أَخْرَجْنا لَكُمْ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ وَ لا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِذَا أَمَرَ بِالنَّخْلِ أَنْ يُزَكَّى يَجِيءُ قَوْمٌ بِأَلْوَانٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ وَ هُوَ مِنْ أَرْدَى التَّمْرِ يُؤَدُّونَهُ مِنْ زَكَاتِهِمْ تَمْراً يُقَالُ لَهُ الْجُعْرُورُ وَ الْمِعَى فَأْرَةُ قَلِيلَةَ اللِّحَاءِ عَظِيمَةَ النَّوَى وَ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَجِيءُ بِهَا عَنِ التَّمْرِ الْجَيِّدِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لَا تَخْرُصُوا هَاتَيْنِ التَّمْرَتَيْنِ وَ لَا تَجِيئُوا مِنْهَا بِشَيْءٍ وَ فِي ذَلِكَ نَزَلَ وَ لا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُونَ وَ لَسْتُمْ بِآخِذِيهِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُغْمِضُوا فِيهِ وَ الْإِغْمَاضُ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ هَاتَيْنِ التَّمْرَتَيْنِ .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Washa, from Aban, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h267"><a href="/books/quran:2#h267">[2:267]</a></a> O you who believe! Spend (benevolently) from the good things that you earn and from what We have Extracted for you out from the earth, but do not aim at what is bad that you may spend from of it</span>. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> wanted people to pay Zakaat of dates (Zakaat to be given from fruits), a group of people came with types of dates, and these were from the ruined dates, paying is as their Zakaat, dates called Al <span class="iTxt">Ju’rour</span>, and <span class="iTxt">Al Mi’ay</span>, with little fruit and large cores; and some of them came over with it instead of the good quality dates. So Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Do not bring these two dates, and do not come with anything from these’. And it was regarding that, it was Revealed <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h267"><a href="/books/quran:2#h267">[2:267]</a></a> and do not aim at what is bad that you may spend from of it, while you would not take it yourselves unless you close your eyes (with disdain)</span>, and the closing of the eyes is that you take these two dates (and give it as Zakaat)’.
