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 الدعوات باب ما جاء فيمن يقرأ القرآن عند المنام

حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ حَدَّثَنِى الْبَرَاءُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ إِذَا أَخَذْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ اضْطَجِعْ عَلَى شِقِّكَ الأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِى إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِى إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِى إِلَيْكَ رَهْبَةً وَرَغْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لاَ مَلْجَأَ وَلاَ مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِى أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِى أَرْسَلْتَ. فَإِنْ مُتَّ فِى لَيْلَتِكَ مُتَّ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ. قَالَ فَرَدَّدْتُهُنَّ لأَسْتَذْكِرَهُ فَقُلْتُ آمَنْتُ بِرَسُولِكَ الَّذِى أَرْسَلْتَ فَقَالَ قُلْ آمَنْتُ بِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِى أَرْسَلْتَ. قَالَ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَقَدْ رُوِىَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ وَلاَ نَعْلَمُ فِى شَىْءٍ مِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ ذُكِرَ الْوُضُوءُ إِلاَّ فِى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ.
The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, told al-Barāʻ, "When you lie down to sleep, perform ablution as you do for prayer, lie on your right side, and say, 'O God, I have submitted my face to You; I have entrusted my affairs to You; and I have relied on You: out of fear and longing for You. There is no refuge or sanctuary from You, except in You. I have believed in the Book which You have revealed, and in the Prophet whom You have sent.' If you then die that night, you would die on the natural disposition (1)." al-Barāʻ said, "I kept repeating these words in order to memorize them, and I said, 'I have believed in the Messenger whom You have sent.' He then corrected me by saying, 'I have believed in the Prophet whom You have sent.'"
