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 فضائل الجهاد باب فى ثواب الشهيد

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا نُعَيْمُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ بَحِيرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِلشَّهِيدِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ سِتُّ خِصَالٍ يُغْفَرُ لَهُ فِى أَوَّلِ دَفْعَةٍ وَيَرَى مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَيُجَارُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَيَأْمَنُ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ الأَكْبَرِ وَيُوضَعُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ تَاجُ الْوَقَارِ الْيَاقُوتَةُ مِنْهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا وَيُزَوَّجُ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ زَوْجَةً مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ وَيُشَفَّعُ فِى سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَقَارِبِهِ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ.
The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, "A martyr is reserved six favors by God: his (1) sins are forgiven with the first spurt [of blood] and he sees his place in Paradise; he is protected from the torment of the grave; he is secured from the Greatest Terror (1); a crown of dignity is placed on his head, of which a ruby is better than the whole world and everything contained therein; he is wed to seventy-two of the fair, wide-eyed maidens of Paradise; and he is allowed to intercede for seventy of his relatives."
(1): The same Greatest Terror referred to in chapter 21 [al-Anbiyāʼ], verse 103 of the Qur'ān. Scholars differ over what it is. One view is that it is the torment of the Hellfire. Another view is that it refers to the blowing of the trumpet, which will cause the end of the world.
