What is the ruling on hastening the Zakat for only part of the *Nisab* or for the Zakat of an entire *Nisab* when only part is possessed?

Primary text

If one possesses a portion of the *Nisab* and hastens the Zakat for that portion, or hastens the Zakat for a full *Nisab*, it is not valid. This is because hastening the judgment precedes its cause.
