Volume 1, Parts II.74.44
He (lbn Sa’d) said: Muhammad Ibn ‘Umar al-Aslami informed us; he
said: ‘Abd Allah Ibn ‘Amr Ibn Zuhayr informed us on the authority of
Muhammad Ibn ‘Umarah Ibn Khuzaymah lbn Thabit; he said:
Farwah Ibn Musayk al-Muradi waited in a deputation on the Apostle of
Allah, may Allah bless him, after having severed connections with the
Maliks of Kindah, and became follower of the Prophet. He stayed with
Sa’d Ibn ‘Ubádah and learnt the Qur’an duties of Islam and its laws. The
Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, gave him in reward twelve and a
half uqiyahs (of silver), camel of noble descent to ride upon and a robe of
‘Uman craftsmanship. He appointed him ‘amil of [the tribes of) the
Murad, Zubayd and Madhhaj. He sent Khalid Ibn Sa’id Ibn al-As, with
him to collect zakah. He wrote a document in which there were the duties
of zakah. He continued in this position till the Apostle of Allah, may
Allah bless him, passed away
