أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: قَدْ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْجِزْيَةَ مِنْ أُكَيْدِرَ الْغَسَّانِيِّ وَيَرْوُونَ أَنَّهُ صَالَحَ رِجَالًا مِنَ الْعَرَبِ عَلَى الْجِزْيَةِ، فَأَمَّا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُ مِنَ الْخُلَفَاءِ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ فَقَدْ أَخَذُوا الْجِزْيَةَ مِنْ بَنِي تَغْلِبَ وَتَنُّوخَ وَبَهْرَاءَ وَخُلْطٍ مِنْ خُلْطِ الْعَرَبِ، وَهُمْ إِلَى السَّاعَةِ مُقِيمُونَ عَلَى النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ، يُضَاعَفُ عَلَيْهِمُ الصَّدَقَةُ وَذَلِكَ جِزْيَةٌ، وَإِنَّمَا الْجِزْيَةُ عَلَى الْأَدْيَانِ لَا عَلَى الْأَنْسَابِ، وَلَوْلَا أَنْ نَأْثَمَ بِتَمَنِّي بَاطِلٍ وَدِدْنَا أَنَّ الَّذِي قَالَ أَبُو يُوسُفَ كَمَا قَالَ، وَأَنْ لَا يُجْرَى صَغَارٌ عَلَى عَرَبِيٍّ، وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَجَلُّ فِي أَعْيُنِنَا مِنْ أَنْ نُحِبَّ غَيْرَ مَا قَضَى بِهِ.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took the jizyah from Ukaydir al-Ghassani, and they narrate that he (peace and blessings be upon him) made peace with some men of the Arabs on the jizyah. As for Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and all the caliphs after him up to today, they took the jizyah from Banu Taghlib, Tanukh, Bahra' and a mixture of Arab tribes, who remain upon Christianity to this hour; the sadaqah is doubled upon them, and that is jizyah. The jizyah is based on religions, not on lineages. Were it not that we would sin by wishing for something false, we would have wished that what Imam Abu Yusuf (may Allah have mercy on him) said were as he said, and that no humiliation be imposed upon an Arab; but Allah is too exalted in our eyes for us to love anything other than what He has decreed.
