عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَمَّا خَرَجَ الْمَجُوسِيُّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيَّرَهُ بَيْنَ الْجِزْيَةِ وَالْقَتْلِ فَاخْتَارَ الْجِزْيَةَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When the Magian left from the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I questioned him. He informed me that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him the choice between paying jizya and being killed, and he accepted the jizya.
