2452. It was narrated from Muʿādḥ that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent him to Yemen, and he commanded him to take a Dînâr, or its equivalent in Ma'âfir,[1] from each person who had reached the age of puberty. And with regard to cattle, from every thirty a male or female Tabî' (two-year-old), and from every forty a Musinnah (three-year-old). (Da'if)
2450 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُفَضَّلٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُهَلْهَلٍ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ: «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْ كُلِّ حَالِمٍ دِينَارًا أَوْ عِدْلَهُ مَعَافِرَ، وَمِنَ الْبَقَرِ مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ تَبِيعًا أَوْ تَبِيعَةً، وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ مُسِنَّةً»

Since a considerably large number of the People of the Book had taken up residence in Yemen, the Jizyah or, the protection, or exemption tax, was imposed upon them. The Jizyah is a tax, which a Muslim state levies on its non-Muslim citizens in lieu of their full protection and other civil rights provided to them. (The term Jizyah itself is derived from the verb Jazâ: "He rendered (something) as a satisfaction or as compensation in lieu of something else": Lane: Vol. I, p. 422; 2003 edition)
