وَأَخْبَرَنَاهُ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ مُعَاذٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ بَعَثَنِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ وَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ آخُذَ مِمَّا سَقَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَمَا سُقِيَ بَعْلًا الْعُشْرَ وَمَا سُقِيَ بِالدَّوَالِي فَنِصْفُ الْعُشْرِ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَا نَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ مُعَاذٍ بِإِسْنَادٍ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ
