[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , wrote to Mu'adh ibn Jabal in Yemen instructing him to collect a dinar or its equivalent from every male and female who is liable to pay Zakat. He also advised that a Jew should not be tempted away from his Judaism. Yahya said: "I have not heard of a tax on women except in this hadith." The Shaykh said: "This hadith is reported via Ibn Wail from Masruq from Muadh ibn Jabal's female." However, it is not mentioned in the narration of Abu Wail from Masruq from Muadh. Nor is it mentioned in the narration of Ibrahim from Muadh except as a small portion. AbdulRazzaq reported it from Ma'mar from Al-A'mash from Abu Wail from Masruq from Muadh. And if Ma'mar narrates from someone other than Zuhri, he often makes mistakes. And Allah knows best. Ibn Khuzaymah included it in his collection if it is preserved with regard to taking it from them if they are pleased with it. Abu Shaybah also narrated it from Ibrahim bin Uthman from Al-Hakam, connectedly. And Abu Shaybah is weak.
