حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْفِرْيَابِيُّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ مُعَاذٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا بَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ تَبِيعًا وَمِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ مُسِنَّةً وَمِنْ كُلِّ حَالِمٍ دِينَارًا أَوْ عَدَّ لَهُ مَعَافِرَ

Muhammad ibn Miskin narrated to us, he said: al-Firyabi informed us, from Sufyan, from al-A'mash, from Abu Wa'il, from Masruq, from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he sent him to Yemen, ordered him to take from every thirty cattle a tabi' (one-year-old calf), and from every forty a musinnah (a two-year-old cow), and from every mature person one dinar or its equivalent in Ma'afiri cloth.
