Majma al-Zawaid 67 — Further reports: a guarantee of safety written

عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَحْمَرَ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا بَلَغَهُ قُدُومُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَفَدَ إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَبِلَ إِسْلَامَهُ ، وَسَأَلَهُ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ لَهُ كِتَابًا يَدْعُو بِهِ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ ، فَكَتَبَ لَهُ فِي رُقْعَةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ : " بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ، هَذَا كِتَابٌ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لِمَالِكِ بْنِ أَحْمَرَ وَلِمَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، أَمَانًا لَهُمْ مَا أَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ ، وَآتَوُا الزَّكَاةَ ، وَاتَّبَعُوا الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، وَجَانَبُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ ، وَأَدَّوُا الْخُمُسَ مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ ، وَسَهْمَ الْغَارِمِينَ ، وَسَهْمَ كَذَا ، وَسَهْمَ كَذَا - فَهُمْ آمِنُونَ بِأَمَانِ اللَّهِ وَأَمَانِ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِي إِسْنَادِهِ سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْجُذَامِيُّ ، وَلَمْ أَقِفْ لَهُ عَلَى تَرْجَمَةٍ .
Sayyiduna Malik bin Ahmar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when he received news of the arrival of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as a delegation. He requested the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to have a document written for him through which he could call to Islam. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had this written for him on a piece of leather: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. This document is from Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the Messenger of Allah, to Malik bin Ahmar and to the Muslims who follow him. It is a guarantee of safety for them, as long as they establish the prayer, give zakah, follow the Muslims, keep away from the polytheists, and pay the one-fifth (khumus) of the spoils, the share of the debtors, and such-and-such share and such-and-such share. Then these people will be safe under the guarantee of safety from Allah Almighty and the guarantee of safety from Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the Messenger of Allah."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Sa'id bin Mansur al-Judhami, whose biography I have not been able to find.
