Bayhaqi 17122 — Reports on the prescribed punishment of dhimmis

وَهُوَ مَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ، بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، سَمِعَ بَجَالَةَ، يَقُولُ: كُنْتُ كَاتِبًا لِجَزِيِّ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَمِّ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ فَأَتَانَا كِتَابُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِسَنَةٍ: " اقْتُلُوا كُلَّ سَاحِرٍ أَوْ سَاحِرَةٍ، وَفَرِّقُوا بَيْنَ كُلِّ ذِي مَحْرَمٍ مِنَ الْمَجُوسِ، وَانْهَوْهُمْ عَنِ الزَّمْزَمَةِ "، فَقَتَلْنَا ثَلَاثَةَ سَوَاحِرَ وَجَعَلْنَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَحَرِيمِهَا فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَصَنَعَ طَعَامًا كَثِيرًا وَعَرَضَ السَّيْفَ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ، وَدَعَا الْمَجُوسَ فَأَلْقَوْا وِقْرَ بَغْلٍ أَوْ بَغْلَيْنِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، فَأَكَلُوا بِغَيْرِ زَمْزَمَةٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَبِلَ الْجِزْيَةَ مِنَ الْمَجُوسِ حَتَّى شَهِدَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَهَا مِنْ مَجُوسِ هَجَرَ.
Bajalah said: I was the scribe of Jaz' bin Mu'awiyah, the paternal uncle of al-Ahnaf bin Qays. A letter from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us one year before his death, in which he had written: Kill every sorcerer, male and female; separate every (spouse who is a) mahram among the Magians; and forbid them from zamzamah (murmuring at meals). So we killed three sorcerers, and among the Magians we separated the mahram woman whom a mahram had married. He had a great deal of food prepared, laid the sword across his thigh and invited the Magians; they threw down silver equal to the load of one or two mules and ate without zamzamah. At first Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) would not take the jizyah from the Magians, until Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) told him that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) "had taken the jizyah from the Magians of Hajar."
