Yahya related to me from Malik from Urwa ibn Husayn from Aisha bint Qudama that her father said, "When I used to come to Uthman ibn Affan to collect my allowance he would ask me, Do you have any property on which zakat is due? If I said, Yes, he would deduct the zakat on that property from my allowance, and if I said, No, he would pay me my allowance (in full)."
