By Allah, we have no book we read to you except the Book of Allah, may He be exalted, and this document - which was attached to his sword - that I took from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, in which are the rates of zakah. It was attached to a sword that had iron adornments, or he said, that had iron rings.
