INJUNCTIONS TO THE KALB TRIBE


In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.



From Muhammad, Prophet of Allah --



To Bani Jinab of the Kalb Tribe and his helpers.



It is obligatory on those who say their prayers, pay Zakat, keep their faith firm and exert themselves in fulfilling their promises, to give by way of Zakat one goat on every five goats, which are tended by a goat herd and a faultless she camel on 50 she camels, whose young ones die.



No Zakat shall be levied on load bearing animals on the land which is irrigated by canal, and half Ushr on the rain fed land is to be paid.



The cattle which stray into their area, shall be theirs. No more than the fixed amount shall be charged from them. Allah and His Prophet are responsible for this writing.



Seal: Allah's Prophet Muhammad
