Chapter 58: Jizyah and Mawaada'ah
Narrated 'Amr bin Dinar: I was sitting with Jabir bin Zaid and 'Amr bin Aus, and Bjalla was narrating to them in 70 A. H. the
year when Mus 'ab bin Az-Zubair was the leader of the pilgrims of Basra. We were sitting at the steps
of Zamzam well and Bajala said, "I was the clerk of Juz bin Muawiya, Al-Ahnaf' s paternal uncle. A
letter came from 'Umar bin Al-Khattab one year before his death; and it was read: -- "Cancel every
marriage contracted among the Magians between relatives of close kinship (marriages that are
regarded illegal in Islam: a relative of this sort being called Dhu-Mahram.)" 'Umar did not take the
Jizya from the Magian infidels till 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf testified that Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) had taken
the Jizya from the Magians of Hajar.
