[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sent Mu'adh to Yemen, he ordered him to take from every thirty she-camels one that is ready to be sold and from every forty cows one that is old. They asked him, "What about the animals that are in between?" He replied, "He did not command me regarding them, so I will ask the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , when I meet him." So when he met the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , he asked him about the animals in between. He said, "There is nothing specific about them." Al-Mas'udi said, "The 'awaqas are the animals that are below thirty and those that are between forty and sixty. If there are sixty, then there are two that are ready to be sold. If there are seventy, then there is one that is old and ready to be sold. If there are eighty, then there are two that are old and ready to be sold. If there are ninety, then there are three that are ready to be sold." The remainder said, "Awaqas is written with a seen, and it should not be read as "sadin."
