Sunan Abu Dawud 3047 — Levying The ’Ushur On Ahl Adh-Dhimmah If They

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ حَرْبِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَعْنَاهُ ، قَالَ : خَرَاجٌ مَكَانَ الْعُشُورِ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Harb bin Ubaid Allah from the Prophet ﷺ to the same effect through a different chain of narrators. This version has the word kharaj (land tax) instead of ‘ushr (tithes).

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
This narration is weak in its chain of transmission.
In these narrations, the word (ʿushur) has most likely been used due to similarity.
Otherwise, ʿushr is also levied on the agricultural income of Muslims.
