حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، وَآخَرُونَ ، قَالُوا : نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ وَارَهٍ ، نا الْخَضِرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شُجَاعٍ ، أنا هُشَيْمٌ ، نا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدَ ، عَنْ قُشَيْرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ بَجَالَةَ ، قَالَ : " لَمْ يَأْخُذْ عُمَرُ الْجِزْيَةَ مِنَ الْمَجُوسِ ، حَتَّى شَهِدَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَ مِنْهُمْ " . قَالَ : وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : كُنْتُ جَالِسًا بِبَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلانِ مِنْهُمْ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَا ، فَقُلْتُ : مَاذَا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ؟ فَقَالا : " الإِسْلامُ أَوِ الْقَتْلُ " ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : فَأَخَذَ النَّاسُ بِقَوْلِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، وَتَرَكُوا قُولِي.
The narrator named Bajalah reports: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) did not initially take jizya from the Magians, until Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) testified that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had taken jizya from these Magians. The narrator states: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) has stated: Once I was sitting at the door of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), two men came to him, then both of them came out, so I inquired: What decision did the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) make regarding both of them? So both of them informed (he gave this decision): "Either we accept Islam or we will be killed." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) states: So the people accepted the statement of Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) and abandoned my narration.
