وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ : أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، كَتَبَ إِلَى عَامِلِهِ عَلَى دِمَشْقَ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ : إِنَّمَا الصَّدَقَةُ فِي الْحَرْثِ وَالْعَيْنِ وَالْمَاشِيَةِ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَلاَ تَكُونُ الصَّدَقَةُ إِلاَّ فِي ثَلاَثَةِ أَشْيَاءَ : فِي الْحَرْثِ وَالْعَيْنِ وَالْمَاشِيَةِ .
