Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 35078 — What they said on stipends

Abidah al-Salmani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked me: "What do you think, how much stipend would be sufficient for a man?" I said: "Such and such." He said: "If I remain alive, I will certainly fix a man's stipend at four thousand: one thousand for his weapons, one thousand for his expenses, one thousand for him to use in his home, and one thousand for such and such." The narrator said: I think he mentioned his horse.
