Zakotning ruhiy jihati, boshqa ko'rinishlari qatorida, zakot yig'uvchi bilan uni beruvchi o'rtasida almashiladigan duolarda namoyon bo'ladi. Zakot yig'uvchidan to'lovchi uchun duo qilish so'raladi. Alloh taolo shunday deydi: "Ularning mollaridan sadaqa olgin, shu bilan ularni poklab, pokiza qilasan; va ular uchun duo qil. Albatta, sening duoying ular uchun xotirjamlik va tinchlikdir."
Abdulloh ibn Abu Avfo rivoyat qiladi: "Alloh Elchisi ﷺ oldiga kimdir zakot olib kelsa, u: "Ey Parvardigor, ularga rahm et!" deb duo qilar edi. Otam Abu Avfo sadaqasini olib kelganida, Nabiy ﷺ: "Ey Parvardigor, Abu Avfo oilasiga rahm et!" dedi."
Bu duo aniq bir shakl bilan cheklanmaydi. Imom Shofe'iy aytadi: "Men yig'uvchi shunday desa yoqadi: "Alloh sizga berganingiz uchun mukofot bersin, uni sizning poklanishingiz sababi qilsin va o'zingizga qoldirganingizda barakot bersin"."
Imom Nasoiy rivoyat qiladi, Nabiy ﷺ yaxshi bir urg'ochi tuyani yuborgan odam uchun duo qilgan: "Ey Parvardigor, unga va uning tuyalariga baraka ber."11
The spiritual aspect of zakah is expressed - among other manifestations- in the prayers exchanged between the collector and the payer. The collector of zakah is asked to pray on behalf of the payer. God says, "out of their wealth take a sadaqah so thou might purify and sanctify them; and pray on their behalf. Verily your prayers are a source of security and comfort to them." 'Abd Allah bin Abu Awfa narrates, "The Messenger of God, when any person brought him zakah, used to say, 'O Lord, give them mercy!' When my father, Abu Awfa, brought him his sadaqah, the Prophet said, 'O Lord, give mercy to the family of Abu Awfa'."9 This prayer is not restricted to any specific form. Al Shafi'i says, "I like the collector to say 'May God reward you for that which you give, make it a cause for purification for you, and give you blessings on what you have left for yourself.'"10 Al Nasa'i reports that the Prophet (p) prayed on behalf of a man who sent a good she-camel, "O Lord, bless him and his camels."11
Zohiriylar va ba'zi shofi'iylar bunday duoni zakot yig'uvchi uchun majburiy deb hisoblaydilar, chunki buni yuqoridagi oyatdan so'zma-so'z tushunish mumkin. Biroq ko'pchilik bu duolarning mustahab, majburiy emas deb hisoblaydi, chunki Payg'ambar ﷺ zakot yig'uvchilarga bergan hech bir ko'rsatmasida buni kiritmagan,12 hamda davlat yig'uvchilari to'lovchilardan boshqa soliqlarni olganda ham bunday duo qilishga majbur emaslar.13
Zahiris and some Shafi'ites consider such prayers obligatory on the part of the collector, as one can derive literally from the above verse. However, the majority believe these prayers are recommended and not obligated, because the Prophet (p) did not include it in any of his instructions to collectors,12 nor are government collectors required to make such prayers when they receive other dues from the payers.13
Biroq, bu dalillar oyatning ko'rsatmasidan ustun kelmaydi ko'rinadi.
However, these arguments do not seem to outweigh the indication of the verse.
Boshqa bir hadisda Payg'ambar (p) zakot to'lovchiga to'lov paytida Allohga iltijo qilishni tavsiya etadi. Abu Hurayra rivoyat qiladi: Xudoning Elchisi aytdi: "Zakotni berganingizda, uning savobini unutmang. 'Ey Rabbimiz, uni foydali qil va zarar qilma', deb ayting."14 Ali rivoyat qiladi: Payg'ambar ﷺ aytdi: "Agar mening ummatim o'n besh ishni qilsa, ular ofatlarga duchor bo'ladi..." Ular orasida u "omonatni foyda vositasi deb hisoblaganda va zakotni zarar deb hisoblaganda" degan ishni ham zikr qiladi.15 Zakot oluvchilarga ham, Abu Hurayradan rivoyat qilingan hadisga asosan, to'lovchi uchun dua qilish tavsiya etiladi, chunki uning bir rivoyatida "sizga berilganda..." deyilgan.16
In another saying, the Messenger (p) recommends that the payer supplicate God upon payment of zakah. Abu Hurairah narrates the Messenger of God says, "When you give zakah away, do not forget its reward. Say 'Our Lord, make it rewarding and not a loss.'"14 'Ali narrates that the Prophet (p) says, "There are fifteen things which if my nation does, it will be affected by catastrophes..." Among them he mentions "when it considers trust a means for gain and when it considers zakah a loss."15 Zakah recipients are also recommended to pray on behalf of the payer on the basis of the saying from Abu Hurairah since one of its versions reads "when you are given..."16
