Anas ibn Malik said to me: "I am sending you on the same mission that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) sent me on." I said: "I will not work on that until you write for me the directive of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab that he gave you." So he wrote for me: Take from the wealth of the Muslims a quarter of a tenth, from the people of the covenant half a tenth, and from the people of war (harbis) the full tenth.
