Hadith #5

وَعَنْهُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:» تَحِلُّ اَلزَّكَاةُ لِصَاحِبِ اَلدَّارِ وَ اَلْخَادِمِ« لِأَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَرَى اَلدَّارَ وَ اَلْخَادِمَ شَيْئاً.

And from him, from Yahya ibn Isa, from Said ibn Yasar, who said: I (narrator) heard Abu Abdillah , peace be upon him, saying: “Zakat is lawful for the owner of a house and a servant,” Because Abu Abdillah , peace be upon him, did not regard the house and the servant as anything (that eliminates the receiver from Zakat).
