Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me to Arab villages and instructed me to collect the share of the land. Sufyan says: The share of the land means one third or one quarter (of the produce).
This narration has been recorded by Imam Ahmad. Its chain contains a narrator, Jabir al-Ju'fi, and he is da'if (weak).
