Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 20704 — What is mentioned on the virtue

Maymun bin Mihran (may Allah have mercy on him) says: When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to send out an army, he would gather the people for it; when the required number was complete, he would equip them for jihad with whatever he had with him. In the time of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), the stipends (a'tiyah) had not yet been fixed.
