"عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِى لَيْلَى، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ قَالَ: بَعَثَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ مُعَاذًا وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَأخُذَ مِنْ كُلِّ ثَلَاثِينَ تَبِيعًا أَوْ تَبِيعَةً، وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ مُسِنَّةً، فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ فَضْلِ مَا بيْنَهُمَا فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأخُذَ حَتَّى سَأَلَ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: لَا تَأخُذْ شَيْئًا".
