Bayhaqi 17125 — Reports on the prescribed punishment of dhimmis

حَدَّثَنَا الْإِمَامُ أَبُو الطِّيبِ سَهْلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الصُّعْلُوكِيُّ إِمْلَاءً، وَأَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ وَغَيْرُهُ، قَالُوا: أنبأ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ثنا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: " آيَتَانِ نُسِخَتَا مِنْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ، يَعْنِي الْمَائِدَةَ: آيَةُ الْقَلَائِدِ، وَقَوْلُهُ: {فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ أَوْ أَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ} [المائدة: ٤٢]، قَالَ: فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُخَيَّرًا إِنْ شَاءَ حَكَمَ بَيْنَهُمْ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُمْ فَرَدَّهُمْ إِلَى حُكَّامِهِمْ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ نَزَلَتْ {وَأَنِ احْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ} [المائدة: ٤٩]، قَالَ: فَأُمِرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَا فِي كِتَابِنَا " وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا عَطِيَّةُ الْعَوْفِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي الْحُكْمِ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُ عِكْرِمَةَ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Two verses of Surah al-Ma'idah were abrogated: one is the verse of the Qala'id (garlanded sacrificial animals), and the other is "So judge between them or turn away from them" [Surah al-Ma'idah: 42], in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had been given the choice: if he wished he would judge in it, and if he wished he would not, and would return them to their own rulers. After that this verse was revealed: "And judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their desires" [Surah al-Ma'idah: 49], so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was commanded to judge according to the Qur'an.
