Jizya (tax on non-Muslims)
Al-Muntaqa Ibn al-Jarud 1105 — Jizya (tax on non-Muslims)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُقْرِئِ ، قَالَ : ثنا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو ، سَمِعَ بَجَالَةَ ، يَقُولُ : كُنْتُ كَاتِبًا لِجَزْءِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، فَأَتَانَا كِتَابُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِسَنَةٍ : " اقْتُلُوا كُلَّ سَاحِرٍ ، وَفَرِّقُوا بَيْنَ كُلِّ ذِي مُحْرِمٍ مِنَ الْمَجُوسِ وَبَيْنَ حَرِيمِهِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ ، وَصَنَعَ طَعَامًا وَعَرَضَ السَّيْفَ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ فَأَكَلُوا بِغَيْرِ زَمْزَمَةٍ ، وَأُلْقَوْا وَقْرَ بَغْلٍ أَوْ بَغْلَيْنِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَخَذَ الْجِزْيَةَ مِنَ الْمَجُوسِ حَتَّى شَهِدَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَهَا مِنْ مَجُوسِ هَجَرَ " .
Bajalah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was the secretary of Juz’ bin Mu’awiyah. One year before the death of Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), a letter from him came to us (in which it was written): Kill every sorcerer, and separate every Magian man who marries a woman forbidden to him (by kinship) and his wife, from those (forbidden women) mentioned in the Book of Allah. They cooked food and placed a sword on their thigh, so they (the Magians) ate the food without chanting (incantations). They piled up silver equal to the load of one or two mules. Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) did not take jizyah from the Magians until Sayyiduna ‘Abdur Rahman bin ‘Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) testified that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had taken jizyah from the Magians of Hajar.
