مُسْنَدُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Musnad of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 301 — he said: The Magians had a book which they used
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : كَانَ الْمَجُوسُ لَهُمْ كِتَابٌ يَقْرَءُونَهُ ، وَعِلْمٌ يَدْرُسُونَهُ ، فَزَنَى إِمَامُهُمْ ، فَأَرَادُوا أَنْ يُقِيمُوا عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ : أَلَيْسَ آدَمُ كَانَ زَوَّجَ بَنِيهِ مِنْ بَنَاتِهِ ؟ فَلَمْ يُقِيمُوا عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ ، فَرُفِعَ الْكِتَابُ ، وَقَدْ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْمَجُوسِ الْجِزْيَةَ ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَأَنَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Magians had a book which they used to read and knowledge which they used to study. Then one of their leaders committed adultery, and they intended to carry out the prescribed punishment (hadd) on him. Thereupon he said to them: 'Did not Adam (peace be upon him) marry his sons to his daughters?' So they did not carry out the prescribed punishment on him, and (as a consequence) the book was taken up (from them). And indeed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took the jizyah from the Magians, and so did Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and I (in our times)."
