Hadith.1667 - It is narrated from Mus'ab ibn Yazid al-Ansari, who said: Amir al-Mu'minin Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) appointed me over four districts of al-Mada'in: Behqubadat, Behrasir, Nahr Jawbar, and Nahr al-Malik. He instructed me to impose the following taxes: - One and a half dirhams for each jareeb (unit of land) of dense cultivation. - One dirham for each jareeb of average cultivation. - Two-thirds of a dirham for each jareeb of light cultivation. - Ten dirhams for each jareeb of vineyards. - Ten dirhams for each jareeb of date palm groves. - Ten dirhams for each jareeb of gardens containing a mix of trees and palms. He (Imam (as)) further commanded me to leave any stray date palm trees outside the villages for travelers and wayfarers, taking nothing from them. He (Imam (as)) also instructed me to impose: - Forty-eight dirhams on the dahqin (landowners) who ride fine horses and wear gold rings. - Twenty-four dirhams on those of moderate means among them and their merchants. - Twelve dirhams on their lower classes and poor. He added: "I collected eighteen million dirhams in one year."

1668 - وَ رَوَى فُضَيْلُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ اَلْأَعْوَرُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَا مِنْ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ إِلاَّ عَلَى اَلْفِطْرَةِ فَأَبَوَاهُ اَللَّذَانِ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَ يُنَصِّرَانِهِ وَ يُمَجِّسَانِهِ وَ إِنَّمَا أَعْطَى رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ اَلذِّمَّةَ وَ قَبِلَ اَلْجِزْيَةَ عَنْ رُءُوسِ أُولَئِكَ بِأَعْيَانِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْ لاَ يُهَوِّدُوا أَوْلاَدَهُمْ وَ لاَ يُنَصِّرُوا وَ أَمَّا أَوْلاَدُ أَهْلِ اَلذِّمَّةِ اَلْيَوْمَ فَلاَ ذِمَّةَ لَهُمْ ».

Hadith.1668 - Fudayl ibn Uthman al-A‘war narrated from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) who said: "Every child is born upon the natural disposition (fitrah). It is the parents who make them Jews, Christians, or Magians. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace be upon him and his family, granted protection (dhimmah) and accepted the payment of jizya from their adults, provided that they would not convert their children to Judaism or Christianity. As for the children of the people of the dhimmah today, they no longer have this protected status."

1669 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَبِلَ اَلْجِزْيَةَ مِنْ أَهْلِ اَلذِّمَّةِ عَلَى أَنْ لاَ يَأْكُلُوا اَلرِّبَا وَ لاَ يَأْكُلُوا لَحْمَ اَلْخِنْزِيرِ وَ لاَ يَنْكِحُوا اَلْأَخَوَاتِ وَ لاَ بَنَاتِ اَلْأَخِ وَ لاَ بَنَاتِ اَلْأُخْتِ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ فَقَدْ بَرِئَتْ مِنْهُ ذِمَّةُ اَللَّهِ وَ ذِمَّةُ رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ » وَ قَالَ «لَيْسَتْ لَهُمُ اَلْيَوْمَ ذِمَّةٌ.

Hadith.1669 - In a narration from Ali ibn Ri'ab, from Zurara, from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) it is reported: "The Messenger of Allah (swt), peace be upon him and his family, accepted the jizya from the people of the dhimmah on the condition that they would not consume usury, would not eat pork, and would not marry their sisters, their nieces (daughters of their brothers), or their nieces (daughters of their sisters). Whoever among them does any of these acts has forfeited the protection (dhimmah) of Allah (swt) and His Messenger, peace be upon him and his family." He further said: "They no longer have any protection (dhimmah) today."

1670 - وَ رَوَى حَرِيزٌ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا حَدُّ اَلْجِزْيَةِ عَلَى أَهْلِ اَلْكِتَابِ وَ هَلْ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ مُوَظَّفٌ لاَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَجُوزَ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ فَقَالَ «ذَلِكَ إِلَى اَلْإِمَامِ يَأْخُذُ مِنْ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْهُمْ مَا شَاءَ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَالِهِ وَ مَا يُطِيقُ إِنَّمَا هُمْ قَوْمٌ فَدَوْا أَنْفُسَهُمْ أَنْ لاَ يُسْتَعْبَدُوا أَوْ يُقْتَلُوا فَالْجِزْيَةُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا يُطِيقُونَ لَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ بِهِ حَتَّى يُسْلِمُوا فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ «۝ حَتّٰى يُعْطُوا اَلْجِزْيَةَ عَنْ يَدٍ وَ هُمْ صٰاغِرُونَ ۝» وَ هُوَ لاَ يَكْتَرِثُ بِمَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يَجِدَ ذُلاًّ لِمَا أُخِذَ مِنْهُ فَيَأْلَمَ لِذَلِكَ فَيُسْلِمَ.

Hadith.1670 - Hariz narrated from Zurara, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq), peace be upon him: "What is the limit of the jizya (poll tax) imposed on the People of the Book? Is there a fixed amount that should not be exceeded?" Imam (as) replied: "That is up to the Imam. He takes from each individual among them according to their wealth and capacity. These are people who ransomed themselves to avoid being enslaved or killed. The jizya is taken from them based on what they can bear, and it is permissible for the Imam to hold them to this until they embrace Islam. Indeed, Allah (swt), the Exalted, said: 'Until they pay the jizya willingly while they are humbled' (Qur'an 9:29). This means it is not about the amount taken, but about causing them to feel the humiliation of what is taken from them, so they feel pain and are led to embrace Islam."

1671 - وَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ : قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَ رَأَيْتَ مَا يَأْخُذُ هَؤُلاَءِ مِنْ هَذَا اَلْخُمُسِ مِنْ أَرْضِ اَلْجِزْيَةِ وَ يَأْخُذُونَ مِنَ اَلدَّهَاقِينِ جِزْيَةَ رُءُوسِهِمْ أَ مَا عَلَيْهِمْ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ مُوَظَّفٌ فَقَالَ «كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا أَجَازُوا عَلَى نُفُوسِهِمْ وَ لَيْسَ لِلْإِمَامِ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ اَلْجِزْيَةِ إِنْ شَاءَ اَلْإِمَامُ وَضَعَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَى أَمْوَالِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ فَعَلَى أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ شَيْءٌ» فَقُلْتُ فَهَذَا اَلْخُمُسُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا هَذَا شَيْءٌ كَانَ صَالَحَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ ».

Hadith.1671 - Muhammad ibn Muslim said: I asked Abu Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq), peace be upon him: "What about what these people collect as khums from the lands of jizya and what they take from the dahahin (landowners) as the poll tax (jizya) on their persons? Is there a fixed obligation upon them in this regard?" Imam (as) replied: "They are bound by what they agreed upon for themselves. The Imam is entitled to no more than the jizya. If the Imam wishes, he may impose it on their persons, leaving their wealth untouched. Alternatively, if he wishes, he may impose it on their wealth, exempting their persons. As for this khums, it is only something that the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace be upon him and his family, made a treaty with them concerning."

1672 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي أَهْلِ اَلْجِزْيَةِ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَ مَوَاشِيهِمْ شَيْءٌ سِوَى اَلْجِزْيَةِ قَالَ «لاَ».

Hadith.1672 - Muhammad ibn Muslim narrated from Abu Ja’far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) regarding the People of the jizya: "Is anything other than the jizya taken from their wealth and livestock?" Imam (as) replied: "No."

1673 - قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : عَنْ صَدَقَاتِ أَهْلِ اَلذِّمَّةِ وَ مَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ جِزْيَتِهِمْ مِنْ ثَمَنِ خُمُورِهِمْ وَ لَحْمِ خَنَازِيرِهِمْ وَ مَيْتَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ «عَلَيْهِمُ اَلْجِزْيَةُ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ تُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ ثَمَنِ لَحْمِ اَلْخِنْزِيرِ أَوْ خَمْرٍ وَ كُلُّ مَا أَخَذُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَوِزْرُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ ثَمَنُهُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ حَلاَلٌ يَأْخُذُونَهُ فِي جِزْيَتِهِمْ ».

Hadith.1673 - I asked Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about the alms (sadaqat) of the People of the dhimma and what is taken from their jizya, such as the price of their wine, pork, and carrion. Imam (as) replied: "They are obligated to pay the jizya on their wealth, which can be taken from the price of pork, wine, or any such things. The burden (wizr) of these actions rests upon them, but the proceeds are lawful (halal) for Muslims to take as part of their jizya."

1674 - وَ رَوَى طَلْحَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «جَرَتِ اَلسُّنَّةُ أَنْ لاَ تُؤْخَذَ اَلْجِزْيَةُ مِنَ اَلْمَعْتُوهِ وَ لاَ مِنَ اَلْمَغْلُوبِ عَلَى عَقْلِهِ.

Hadith.1674 - Talha ibn Zayd narrated from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) who said: "The established practice (sunnah) is that jizya is not taken from the mentally ill or those whose intellect is impaired (maghlub ala 'aqlihi)."

1675 - وَ رَوَى حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلنِّسَاءِ كَيْفَ سَقَطَتِ اَلْجِزْيَةُ وَ رُفِعَتْ عَنْهُنَّ فَقَالَ «لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ اَلنِّسَاءِ وَ اَلْوِلْدَانِ فِي دَارِ اَلْحَرْبِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يُقَاتِلْنَ وَ إِنْ قَاتَلَتْ أَيْضاً فَأَمْسِكْ عَنْهَا مَا أَمْكَنَكَ وَ لَمْ تَخَفْ خَلَلاً فَلَمَّا نَهَى رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ عَنْ قَتْلِهِنَّ فِي دَارِ اَلْحَرْبِ كَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي دَارِ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ أَوْلَى وَ لَوِ اِمْتَنَعَتْ أَنْ تُؤَدِّيَ اَلْجِزْيَةَ لَمْ يُمْكِنْ قَتْلُهَا فَلَمَّا لَمْ يُمْكِنْ قَتْلُهَا رُفِعَتِ اَلْجِزْيَةُ عَنْهَا وَ لَوْ مَنَعَ اَلرِّجَالُ فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُؤَدُّوا اَلْجِزْيَةَ كَانُوا نَاقِضِينَ لِلْعَهْدِ وَ حَلَّتْ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَ قَتْلُهُمْ لِأَنَّ قَتْلَ اَلرِّجَالِ مُبَاحٌ فِي دَارِ اَلشِّرْكِ وَ اَلذِّمَّةِ وَ كَذَلِكَ اَلْمُقْعَدُ مِنْ أَهْلِ اَلشِّرْكِ وَ اَلذِّمَّةِ وَ اَلْأَعْمَى وَ اَلشَّيْخُ اَلْفَانِي وَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ وَ اَلْوِلْدَانُ فِي أَرْضِ اَلْحَرْبِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ رُفِعَتْ عَنْهُمُ اَلْجِزْيَةُ.

Hadith.1675 - Hafs ibn Ghiyath narrated: I asked Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about why women were exempted from jizya and it was not imposed on them. He said: "Because the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace be upon him and his family, forbade the killing of women and children in the battlefield (Dar al-Harb), unless they engage in fighting. Even if a woman fights, avoid harming her as much as possible unless there is a fear of harm or disruption. Since the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace be upon him and his family, prohibited their killing in Dar al-Harb, their exemption in Dar al-Islam is even more appropriate. If a woman refuses to pay the jizya, it is not permissible to kill her. Therefore, since it is not permissible to kill her, the jizya was lifted from her. However, if men refuse and abstain from paying the jizya, they breach the covenant (dhimma), making their blood permissible and their killing lawful. This is because killing men is allowed in Dar al-Shirk and under the covenant if they violate its terms. Similarly, the paralyzed among the polytheists and people under covenant (dhimma), the blind, the very old, women, and children in the battlefield (Dar al-Harb) are also exempted from jizya because of this reasoning."

1676 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مُسْكَانَ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْأَعْرَابِ أَ عَلَيْهِمْ جِهَادٌ فَقَالَ «لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمْ جِهَادٌ إِلاَّ أَنْ يُخَافَ عَلَى اَلْإِسْلاَمِ فَيُسْتَعَانَ بِهِمْ» فَقَالَ فَلَهُمْ مِنَ اَلْجِزْيَةِ شَيْءٌ قَالَ «لاَ».

Hadith.1676 - Ibn Muskan narrated from Al-Halabi, who said: A man asked Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about whether the Bedouins (A'rab) are obligated to engage in jihad. The Imam (as) replied: "They are not obligated to engage in jihad unless there is a fear for Islam, in which case their assistance may be sought." The man then asked: "Do they have a share in the jizya?" The Imam (as) said: "No."

1677 - وَ سَأَلَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : عَنْ سِيرَةِ اَلْإِمَامِ فِي اَلْأَرْضِ اَلَّتِي فُتِحَتْ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَدْ سَارَ فِي أَهْلِ اَلْعِرَاقِ بِسِيرَةٍ فَهِيَ إِمَامٌ لِسَائِرِ اَلْأَرَضِينَ» وَ قَالَ «إِنَّ أَرْضَ اَلْجِزْيَةِ لاَ تُرْفَعُ عَنْهَا اَلْجِزْيَةُ وَ إِنَّمَا اَلْجِزْيَةُ عَطَاءُ اَلْمُجَاهِدِينَ وَ اَلصَّدَقَاتُ لِأَهْلِهَا اَلَّذِينَ سَمَّى اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ مِنَ اَلْجِزْيَةِ شَيْءٌ» ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «مَا أَوْسَعَ اَلْعَدْلَ إِنَّ اَلنَّاسَ يَسْتَغْنُونَ إِذَا عُدِلَ فِيهِمْ وَ تُنْزِلُ اَلسَّمَاءُ رِزْقَهَا وَ تُخْرِجُ اَلْأَرْضُ بَرَكَتَهَا بِإِذْنِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ».

Hadith.1677 - Muhammad ibn Muslim asked Abu Ja’far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about the policy of the Imam concerning the lands conquered after the Prophet of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family. The Imam (as) replied: "Indeed, Amir al-Mu'minin (Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as)) established a policy in Iraq that serves as a model for all other lands." He added: "The jizya is never lifted from the lands of jizya. It is the due of the fighters (mujahideen), while sadaqat is designated for those whom Allah (swt), the Mighty and Glorious, has specified in His Book. They (the fighters) have no share in the jizya." The Imam then said: "How expansive justice is! When people are treated justly, they will prosper. The skies will send down their sustenance, and the earth will yield its blessings by the permission of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Glorious."

1678 - وَ اَلْمَجُوسُ تُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُمُ اَلْجِزْيَةُ لِأَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ «سُنُّوا بِهِمْ سُنَّةَ أَهْلِ اَلْكِتَابِ وَ كَانَ لَهُمْ نَبِيٌّ اِسْمُهُ دَامَسْبُ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَ كِتَابٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ جَامَاسْبُ كَانَ يَقَعُ فِي اِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ جِلْدِ ثَوْرٍ فَحَرَّقُوهُ ».

Hadith.1678 - The Magians (Majus) are subject to the payment of jizya because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: "Treat them as you treat the People of the Book." They had a prophet named Damasb, whom they killed, and a scripture called Jamasb, which was inscribed on twelve thousand pieces of ox hide, and they burned it.

1679 - وَ سَأَلَ أَبُو اَلْوَرْدِ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : عَنْ مَمْلُوكٍ نَصْرَانِيٍّ لِرَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ عَلَيْهِ جِزْيَةٌ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ فَيُؤَدِّي عَنْهُ مَوْلاَهُ اَلْمُسْلِمُ اَلْجِزْيَةَ قَالَ «نَعَمْ إِنَّمَا هُوَ مَالُهُ يَفْتَدِيهِ إِذَا أُخِذَ يُؤَدِّي عَنْهُ ».

Hadith.1679 - Abu Al-Ward asked Abu Ja’far (as) about a Christian slave owned by a Muslim man: "Is jizya required of him?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes." He then asked: "Should the Muslim master pay the jizya on his behalf?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes, it is his wealth; he ransoms him by paying on his behalf if he is taken."
