ḤADĪTH OF THE DAY

“ Mu'āth Ibn-Jabal said, "The Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, delegated me over Yemen (to collect its (prescribed) alms(1)). Thus he ordered me to take from every thirty cows (2) a yearling bull or a yearling cow, and from every forty [cows] a heifer (3), and [to take] a Dinar (4) from each adult man(5), or a Ma'āfir (6) worth." Footnotes: (1)(Zakāt) One of the five pillars of Islām: A sum equivalent to 2.5% of the wealth stored over one year is paid by every Muslim annually for the benefit of the needy. (2) Here the word cow is used in its general meaning, i.e. any domestic bovine regardless of its sex. (3) The word heifer is used here to refer to a female cattle that is three years or older, regardless whether it had its first calf or not. (4) The Islamic Dinar is a specific weight of 22k gold (.917) equivalent to 4.25 grams. (Quoted from edinar) (5) Tax paid by non-Muslims living in a Muslim state, which is less than what Muslims pay annually in obligatory almsgiving. It is imposed on able-bodied non-Muslim men of military age. The tax is not levied on women, children, monks, the old, the sick, slaves, and the poor, and is subject to certain conditions. Non-Muslim citizens are free to practice their faith and to enjoy communal autonomy. They are entitled to protection from external aggression, and are exempt from military service, amongst other exemptions levied upon Muslim citizens. (6) Ma'āfir is a district in the city of Ta'z (in Yemen) known for its garments. Therefore he means: worth a Dinar of garments (as explained by Abu Dawwūd). ”

Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب السير باب ما جاء فى الغنيمة

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِىُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ فُضِّلْتُ عَلَى الأَنْبِيَاءِ بِسِتٍّ أُعْطِيتُ جَوَامِعَ الْكَلِمِ وَنُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ وَأُحِلَّتْ لِىَ الْغَنَائِمُ وَجُعِلَتْ لِىَ الأَرْضُ مَسْجِدًا وَطَهُورًا وَأُرْسِلْتُ إِلَى الْخَلْقِ كَافَّةً وَخُتِمَ بِىَ النَّبِيُّونَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
The Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, "I was favored over the other prophets in six ways: I was endowed with concise speech; I was supported with fear (1); war booty was made permissible for me; the earth was made a place of prostration (2) and a purifier (3) for me; I was sent to the whole of creation, and the line of prophets was sealed with me (4)." Footnotes: (1) Fear was put into the hearts of his enemies before confronting him. (2) Earlier prophets were required to pray in specific places or to prove the purity of the place where they prayed. In Islam, however, any place on earth is considered pure unless proven otherwise and is suitable as a place of worship for Muslims. (3) When water is not available for ablution, clean soil is used instead to purify a Muslim for prayer. This procedure is called tayammum. (4) i.e. he is the final prophet.
