Hammad ibn Salamah said: I said to Qays ibn Sa’d: “Write for me the letter of Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Hazm.” So he wrote it for me on a piece of paper and brought it to me, informing me that he had taken it from the book of Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Hazm. He informed me that the Prophet (ﷺ) wrote it to his grandfather Amr ibn Haram (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the obligations of charity for camels. It stated: “When they reach ninety, the charity is two three-year-old female camels until they reach one hundred and twenty. If they exceed that, then for every fifty camels, the charity is one three-year-old female camel, and the remainder is calculated from the beginning of the obligation. For fewer than twenty-five camels, the charity is sheep: one sheep for every five camels.”
