وَعَنْ مُعَاذٍ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا وَجَّهَهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ أَمْرَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْ الْبَقَرَة: مِنْ كُلِّ ثَلَاثِينَ تَبِيعًا أَوْ تَبِيعَةً وَمِنْ كل أَرْبَعِينَ مُسِنَّةً. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ والدارمي

Translation

Muadh reported that when the Prophet ﷺ sent him to Yemen, he instructed him to collect from cattle one male or female tabiʿ for every thirty, and one musinna for every forty. Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nasa’i, and al-Darimi transmitted it.

Translation notes

  • Tabiʿ and musinna are livestock age categories; the English witness explains these as a calf in its second year and a cow in its third year.
