Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) state that when a disbeliever becomes a Muslim and he also possesses land, then we will remove the jizya from him and will take kharaj from him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Zubair bin Adi (may Allah have mercy on him) that during the caliphate of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), a farmer accepted Islam. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: If you remain on your land, we will remove the jizya from you, and will take (kharaj) from your land, and if you turn away from it, then we are more entitled to this land.

It is narrated from Hazrat Husain that two persons from the people of Al-Yas embraced Islam during the caliphate of Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and both of them presented themselves before Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and informed him about their acceptance of Islam. He wrote to Hazrat Uthman bin Hunaif (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding them that the jizya should be removed from them and kharaj should be taken from their land.

It is narrated from Hazrat Tariq that a farmer from Nahr Malik (Baghdad) became a Muslim. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered: Give him land and collect kharaj from him.

Hazrat Tariq, may Allah have mercy on him, narrates that a farmer from Nahr Malik became Muslim. Hazrat Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, wrote: Give him the choice between jizya and kharaj.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aamir that a farmer named Rafail from Nahrain became Muslim. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) fixed two thousand for him, abolished the jizya from him, gave him his land, and collected kharaj from him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) that Hazrat Ubaidullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked: If someone from among the people of Iraq becomes Muslim, what is the ruling regarding him? He (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: If someone from among the people of Iraq who is under our protection becomes Muslim, then his land and his wealth will remain his. But if someone who is not under our protection becomes Muslim—regarding the land which we conquered by force (through jihad)—then that land will belong to the Muslims. Hazrat Ubaidullah says that I had read this ruling in a letter of Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him).

Ibrahim says that if any person from the people of Iraq becomes Muslim, then if he remains on his land, kharaj will be taken from him. And if he leaves that land, then kharaj will not be taken from him.
