Muwatta Malik #606
Zakat
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ، كَانَ يَقُولُ هَذَا شَهْرُ زَكَاتِكُمْ فَمَنْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَلْيُؤَدِّ دَيْنَهُ حَتَّى تَحْصُلَ أَمْوَالُكُمْ فَتُؤَدُّونَ مِنْهُ الزَّكَاةَ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from as-Sa'ib ibn
Yazid that Uthman ibn Affan used to say, "This is the month for you to
pay your zakat. If you have any debts then pay them off so that you
can sort out your wealth and take the zakat from it."
