Hadith 701
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ الْيَمَانِيِّ: أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ أَخَذَ مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ بَقَرَةً تَبِيعًا، وَمِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ مُسِنَّةً، وَأُتِيَ بِمَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ، فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا، وَقَالَ: لَمْ أَسْمَعْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِ شَيْئًا حَتَّى أَلْقَاهُ فَأَسْأَلَهُ، فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْدَمَ مُعَاذٌ.
It is narrated from Tawoos Yamani (may Allah have mercy on him) that Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) took a one-year-old calf (which had entered the second year) from thirty cows, and for every forty, he took a two-year-old calf. When he was given one of lesser age, he refused to take it and said: "I have not heard anything about this from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ); (I will not take it) until I ask the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about it." Tawoos says that before Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) could come (to Madinah), the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed away.
Hadith 702
أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ: أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أُتِيَ بِوَقْصِ الْبَقَرِ فَقَالَ: لَمْ يَأْمُرْنِي فِيهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ. قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: وَالْوَقْصُ مَا لَمْ يَبْلُغِ الْفَرِيضَةَ , أَخْرَجَ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ مِنْ كِتَابِ الزَّكَاةِ.
It is narrated from Tawus (may Allah have mercy on him) that cows less than the nisab of zakat were brought to Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him), so he said: "The Prophet (ﷺ) did not command me anything regarding this."
