Majma al-Zawaid 9798 — Reports on the jizyah

وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ : كَانَ الْمَجُوسُ لَهُمْ كِتَابٌ يَقْرَؤُونَهُ ، وَعِلْمٌ يَدْرُسُونَهُ ، فَزَنَى إِمَامُهُمْ ، فَأَرَادُوا أَنْ يُقِيمُوا عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ : أَلَيْسَ آدَمُ كَانَ يُزَوِّجُ بَنِيهِ مِنْ بَنَاتِهِ ؟ فَلَمْ يُقِيمُوا عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ ، فَرُفِعَ الْكِتَابُ ، وَقَدْ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - الْجِزْيَةَ ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَأَنَا . رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى ، وَفِيهِ أَبُو سَعْدٍ الْبَقَّالُ ، وَهُوَ مَتْرُوكٌ .
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Magians had a (revealed) Book which they used to read, and knowledge which they used to teach. Once their ruler committed adultery, and they intended to carry out the prescribed punishment (hadd) on him. He said to them: Did not Sayyiduna Adam marry his sons to his daughters? So they did not carry out the prescribed punishment on him. Then the knowledge of the Book was taken away. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took the jizyah (from the Magians), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) also did, and I too (take the jizyah).
This narration has been recorded by Imam Abu Ya'la. Its chain contains a narrator, Abu Sa'd al-Baqqal, and he is matruk (abandoned).
