عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي بِشْرُ بْنُ عَاصِمِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ، أَنَّ عَاصِمَ بْنَ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَهُمْ،
أَنَّ سُفْيَانَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَهُوَ يُصَدِّقُ فِي مَخَالِيفِ الطَّائِفِ اشْتَكَى إِلَيْهِ أَهْلُ الْمَاشِيَةِ تَصْدِيقَ الْغِذَاءِ، وَقَالُوا: إِنْ كُنْتَ مُعْتَدًّا بِغِذَاءٍ فَخُذْ مِنْهُ صَدَقَتَهُ، فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ سُفْيَانُ شَيْئًا إِلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى لَقِيَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْمَاشِيَةِ يَشْكُونَ إِلَيَّ أَنِّي أَعُدُّ بِالْغِذَاءِ، وَيَقُولُونَ: إِنْ كُنْتَ مُعْتَدًّا بِهِ فَخُذْ مِنْهُ صَدَقَتَهُ قَالَ: " فَقُلْ لَهُمْ: إِنَّمَا نَعْتَدُّ بِالْغِذَاءِ كُلِّهِ حَتَّى السَّخْلَةِ يَرُوحُ بِهَا الرَّاعِي عَلَى يَدِهِ "، قَالَ: وَقَالَ: " إِنِّي لَا آخُذُ فِيهِ الْأَكُولَةَ، وَلَا فَحْلَ الْغَنَمِ، وَلَا الرُّبَّى، وَلَا الْمَاخِضَ، وَلَكِنِّي آخُذُ الْعَنَاقَ، وَالْجَذَعَةَ، وَالثَّنِيَّةَ، وَذَلِكَ عَدْلٌ بَيْنَ الْغِذَاءِ وَخِيَارِ الْمَالِ، وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: إِنَّا نَعْتَدُّ بِالْغِذَاءِ كُلِّهِ حَتَّى السَّخْلَةِ
Translation
✧ Sufyān b. ʿAbd Allāh, while collecting charity in the rural districts of al-Ṭāʾif, the livestock owners complained to him about counting the newborn lambs. They said: "If you count the newborns, then take charity from them." Sufyān did not concede anything to them until he met ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb. He said: "The livestock owners complain to me that I count the newborns, and they say: If you count them, then take charity from them." He said: "Tell them: We count all the newborns, even the lamb that the shepherd brings carrying it on his hand." He said: And he said: "I do not take from them the fattened animal, nor the ram of the flock, nor the nursing ewe, nor the pregnant one; but I take the young she-goat, the jadhaʿah, and the thaniyyah. That is a just balance between the newborns and the best of the wealth. And tell them: We count all the newborns, even the lamb."
