حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا وَجَّهَهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ مِنْ كُلِّ ثَلَاثِينَ تَبِيعًا أَوْ تَبِيعَةً وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ مُسِنَّةً وَمِنْ كُلِّ حَالِمٍ (يَعْنِي مُحْتَلِمًا) دِينَارًا أَوْ عِدْلَهُ مِنَ الْمَعَافِرِ ثِيَابٌ تَكُونُ بِالْيَمَنِ

When the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sent him to the Yemen, he ordered him to take a male or a female calf a year old for every thirty cattle and a cow in its third year for every forty, and one dinar for every adult (unbeliever as a poll-tax) or cloths of equivalent value manufactured in the Yemen.

মু‘আয ইবনু জাবাল (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তাকে ইয়ামান দেশে পাঠানোর সময় এ নির্দেশ দেন যে, গরুর (যাকাত) প্রতি ত্রিশটির জন্য পূর্ণ এক বছর বয়সী একটি এড়ে বাছুর বা বকনা বাছুর এবং প্রত্যেক প্রাপ্ত বয়স্ক যিম্মী থেকে এক দীনার বা এর সম-মূল্যের কাপড়- যা ইয়ামেনে তৈরি হয় আদায় করতে হবে।[1] সহীহ।

معاذ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے جب انہیں یمن کی طرف روانہ کیا تو یہ حکم دیا کہ وہ گائے بیلوں میں ہر تیس ( ۳۰ ) پر ایک سالہ بیل یا گائے لیں، اور چالیس ( ۴۰ ) پر دو سالہ گائے، اور ہر بالغ مرد سے ( جو کافر ہو ) ایک دینار یا ایک دینار کے بدلے اسی قیمت کے کپڑے جو یمن کے معافر نامی مقام میں تیار کئے جاتے ہیں ( بطور جزیہ ) لیں۔

Ebû Vâil, Müâz'dan rivayet ettiğine göre, Nebi (s.a.v.) Onu Yemen'e (vali olarak) göndereceği zaman, "her otuz sığırdan bir yaşını bitirip iki yaşına basmış bîr erkek veya dişi sığır, her kırk sığırdan da iki yaşını bitirip üç yaşına basmış bir dişi sığır ve her baliğ yani bulûğ çağına erenden bir dinar veya onun değerinde Me'âfir (elbisesi) almasını" emretmiştir

What it means

The Prophet (ﷺ) sent Mu‘ādh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) to Yemen to teach the people and call them to Islam. Among the instructions he gave him was to collect Zakah from the Muslims' cattle: from every thirty cows, one Tabī‘ or Tabī‘ah (a one-year-old bull or cow) and from every forty cows, one Musinnah (a two-year-old cow).

And that he should take Jizyah (protection tax) from the People of the Book—the Jews and Christians—of one dinar from every adult male, or its equivalent in Yemeni garments known as Ma‘āfiri.

What it teaches

  • Jizyah is taken only from those who have reached puberty, because the criterion for exemption is that it is not taken from anyone whose killing is unlawful if captured, such as children, women, and others like them.
  • The amount of Jizyah is determined according to the Ijtihād (independent reasoning) of the ruler, as it varies based on factors such as place, time, wealth, and poverty. The evidence for this is that the Prophet (ﷺ) personally set its amount for the people of Yemen, saying to Mu‘ādh: "Take from every adult male one dinar," whereas ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) later increased its amount when he assessed it for the people of the Levant.
  • Paying attention to the collection of Zakah and appointing officials to collect it is among the responsibilities of the ruler.
  • Tabī‘: It is the calf that has completed one year and entered its second; it is called Tabī‘ because it still follows its mother.
  • The dinar: A gold coin; the Islamic dinar weighs four and a quarter grams (4.25 g) of gold.
