أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا بَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى الْيَمَنِ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْ كُلِّ ثَلاَثِينَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ تَبِيعًا أَوْ تَبِيعَةً وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ مُسِنَّةً وَمِنْ كُلِّ حَالِمٍ دِينَارًا أَوْ عِدْلَهُ مَعَافِرَ .
Ahmad ibn Harb reported: Abu Muawiyah narrated to us, from al-Amash, from Ibrahim, from Masruq, from Muadh, who said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him to Yemen, he instructed him to take from every thirty cows one tabee or tabeeah, male or female yearling; from every forty one musinnah; and from every person who had reached puberty one dinar or its equivalent in Ma afiri garments.
Translation notes
The Arabic specifies male or female yearling calves at the thirty-cow threshold and uses the technical term musinnah for the forty-cow threshold.
