أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ الْجَارِيِّ أَوْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: مَا نَصَارَى الْعَرَبِ بِأَهْلِ كِتَابٍ، وَمَا يَحِلُّ لَنَا ذَبَائِحُهُمْ، وَمَا أَنَا بِتَارِكِهِمْ حَتَّى يُسْلِمُوا أَوْ أَضْرِبَ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ. قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: وَإِنَّمَا تَرَكْنَا أَنْ نُجْبِرَهُمْ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ أَوْ نَضْرِبَ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ؛ لِأَنَّ ⦗٣٦٤⦘ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَ الْجِزْيَةَ مِنْ نَصَارَى الْعَرَبِ، وَأَنَّ عُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ وَعَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ قَدْ أَقَرُّوهُمْ، وَإِنْ كَانَ عُمَرُ قَدْ قَالَ هَذَا، لِذَلِكَ لَا يَحِلُّ لَنَا نِكَاحُ نِسَائِهِمْ؛ لِأَنَّ اللهَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ إِنَّمَا أَحَلَّ لَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِمْ نَزَلَ.
Sa'd al-Jari, or Abdullah bin Sa'd, the freed slave of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), said that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Christians of the Arabs are not People of the Book, and their slaughtered animals are not lawful for us; either they become Muslim or we will kill them."
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: How could we force them into Islam or kill them? For the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took jizyah from the Christians of the Arabs, and Sayyiduna Umar and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them both) and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) let them remain, even though Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had said this. For that reason, marrying their women is not lawful for us, because Allah, the Lord of Might, has made marriage lawful for us only with those People of the Book upon whom the Book was revealed.
