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 
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 replied: "Indeed, Amir al-Mu'minin (Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib ) 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."
