Sunan an-Nasai 2475 (Book 23, Hadith 41) #17086
Charity Not Required for Small Amounts

SUMMARY: No charity is required for small amounts of dates, silver and camels.

It was narrated from Abu Sa 'eed Al-Khudri that he heard the Messenger of Allah say: "No Sadaqah is due on less than five Awsaq2 of dates, no Sadaqah is due on less than five Awaq of silver, and no Sadaqah is due on less than five Dhawd (head) of camels".
أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي صَعْصَعَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُمَارَةَ، وَعَبَّادِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ لاَ صَدَقَةَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ أَوْسَاقٍ مِنَ التَّمْرِ وَلاَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ أَوَاقٍ مِنَ الْوَرِقِ صَدَقَةٌ وَلاَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ ذَوْدٍ مِنَ الإِبِلِ صَدَقَةٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that charity or sadaqa does not need to be given for small amounts of items such as dates, silver and camels. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that if someone has fewer than five awsaqs of dates, fewer than five awaqs of silver or fewer than five dhawds of camels then they do not need to give any charity from it. This teaches us the importance to be generous with our wealth but also to be mindful about how much we are giving away in charity so that we can still provide for ourselves and our families. It also shows us the importance in being honest when calculating what we owe in terms of zakat or other forms of charity so that we can fulfill our obligations without overburdening ourselves financially.
