Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-1210b
"عَنْ عاصمٍ أن عمر استعمل أبا سُفْيَان بن عبد اللهِ على الطائف، فَخَرجَ مُصَّدِّقًا فاعتد عليهم بالغِذاء ولم يأخذه مِنْهُمْ، فَقَالُوا لَهُ: إِنْ كُنْتَ مُعْتدَّا عَلَيْنَا بالْغِذَاءِ فَخُذه مِنَّا، فَأَمْسَكَ حَتَّى أَتى عمر، فقال له: إِنَّهُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ أنَّا نظلمهم؛ نَعْتدَّ عليهم بالغذاء ولا نأخذه منهم، فقال له عمر: اعتدَّ عليهم بالغذاء حتى السَّخْلَة يروح بها الراعى على يده، وَقُل لَهُم: لا آخُذُ منكم الرُّبِّىَّ ولا الماخض، ولا ذاتَ الدَّرِّ، ولا الشاة الأَكولَةَ، ولا فَحْلَ الغْنَمِ، وَخُذِ العَنَاقَ والجَذَعَةَ والثَّنِيَّةَ، فذلك عَدْلٌ بَيْنَ غِذَاء المَالِ وخِيارِه".

"It is narrated from 'Asim that 'Umar appointed Abu Sufyan ibn 'Abdullah over at-Ta'if. He went out as a collector of zakat and counted the young goats (al-ghidha') against them but did not take them. They said to him: 'If you are counting the young goats against us, then take them from us.' So he withheld until he came to 'Umar and said to him: 'They claim that we wrong them: we count the young goats against them but do not take them.' 'Umar said to him: 'Count the young goats against them, even the lamb that a shepherd carries in his hand. Say to them: I will not take from you the ruby (ar-rubbiyy), nor the pregnant ewe, nor the one with milk, nor the fattened sheep, nor the male goat; but take the she-goat of a year (al-'anaq), the female of two years (al-jadha'ah), and the female of two years and more (ath-thaniyyah). That is a just middle between the young of the livestock and its best.'"
