Musnad Abi Ya'la 860 — I was the scribe of Jaz' bin Mu'awiyah
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو ، سَمِعَ بَجَالَةَ قَالَ : كُنْتُ كَاتِبًا لِجَزْءِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَمِّ الْأَحْنَفِ ، فَأَتَانَا كِتَابُ عُمَرَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِسَنَةٍ ، يَقُولُ : اقْتُلُوا كُلَّ سَاحِرٍ ، وَفَرِّقُوا بَيْنَ كُلِّ ذِي مَحْرَمٍ مِنَ الْمَجُوسِ ، وَانْهُوهُمْ عَنِ الزَّمْزَمَةِ ، فَقَتَلْنَا ثَلَاثَ سَوَاحِرَ ، وَجَعَلْنَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلِ وَحَرِيمَتِهِ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ ، وَصَنَعَ طَعَامًا كَثِيرًا وَدَعَا الْمَجُوسَ ، وَعَرَضَ السَّيْفَ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ، وَأَلْقَوْا وِقْرَ بَغْلٍ أَوْ بَغْلَيْنِ مِنْ وَرِقٍ ، وَأَكَلُوا بِغَيْرِ زَمْزَمَةٍ ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عُمَرُ أَخَذَ الْجِزْيَةَ مِنَ الْمَجُوسِ حَتَّى أَخْبَرَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَخَذَهَا مِنْ مَجُوسِ هَجَرَ .
It is narrated from Bajalah (may Allah have mercy on him); he said: I was the scribe of Jaz' bin Mu'awiyah, the paternal uncle of al-Ahnaf, when a letter of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us, one year before his death, in which he wrote: "Kill every sorcerer, separate every mahram relative (married as husband and wife) among the Magians, and forbid them zamzamah (murmuring under the breath at meals)." So we killed three sorceresses, and we began separating a man from his mahram woman in accordance with the Book of Allah. Jaz' prepared a great deal of food, invited the Magians and placed the sword across his thigh, and they threw down silver equal to the load of one or two mules and ate without zamzamah. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) did not take the jizyah from the Magians until Sayyiduna Abdul Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) informed him that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had taken it from the Magians of Hajar.
