بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي صَدَقَةِ الْبَقَرِChapter on What is Reported Regarding Charity of Cattle
Hadith 673
حَدَّثَنِي حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْمَكِّيِّ ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ الْيَمَانِيِّ ، أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ أَخَذَ مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ بَقَرَةً تَبِيعًا وَمِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ بَقَرَةً 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 يَقْدُمَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ
It is narrated from Tawus Yamani that Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) took one-year-old cow from thirty cows, and one two-year-old cow from forty cows, and took nothing from less than that, and said: I have not heard anything from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this matter, so I will ask him. But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away before Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) could come.
