(كَمْ يُؤْخَذُ مِنَ الْجِزْيَةِ؟)
(How much Jizyah should be taken?)
Hadith 4036
عَنْ مُعَاذٍ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا وَجَّهَهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ أَمْرَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْ كُلِّ حَالِمٍ يَعْنِي مُحْتَلِمٍ دِينَارًا أَوْ عَدْلَهُ مِنَ الْمَعَافِرِيِّ: ثِيَابٌ تَكُونُ بِالْيمن. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Mu'adh said that when God’s Messenger sent him to the Yemen he ordered him to take from every halim, meaning one who had reached puberty, a dinar or its equivalent in Ma'afiri,* i.e. garments of Yemen origin. *This word, which is usually an adjective qualifying thaub (garment), is here used by itself with an explanation of the meaning following Ma'afir is the name of a tribe which was a section of Hamdan, the Yemen tribal group. Abu Dawud transmitted it.
