Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) to Yemen, he ordered him to collect from every thirty cows a tabi' or tabi'ah (a one-year-old male or female calf), or a jadha' or jadha'ah, and from every forty cows a musinnah. The people said: "What is the ruling on the 'awqas'?" Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me no instruction about them. When I go to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I will ask him." When he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him about this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Nothing is due on them." The narrator says: Al-Mas'udi says: "Awqas" means the number between thirty and forty, or between forty and sixty.
Al-Bazzar recorded it and said: No one corroborated Baqiyyah in narrating it as marfu' (attributed to the Prophet) except al-Hasan bin Umarah, and the narrator al-Hasan is da'if (weak). This narration has also been reported from Tawus as a mursal narration.
