Hazrat Ubaidah Salmani (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked me: What is your opinion, how much salary would be sufficient for a man? I said: Such and such amount. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If I remain (alive), I will certainly fix a salary of four thousand for a man. One thousand for his weapon. One thousand for his expenses. And one thousand for him to use at home. And one thousand for that thing. The narrator says that I think he (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned the horse.
