Hadith 5:250

'Abbad ibn al-'Awwam narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Sa'id, from 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, that the governor of al-Ta'if wrote to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab: "The people of the honey have withheld from us what they used to give to those who were before us." He said: So he wrote to him: "If they give you what they used to give to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), then protect [the land] for them. Otherwise, do not protect it for them." He said: And 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb claimed that they used to give one qirbah (waterskin) for every ten qirbahs.
