4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from abu Yahya al-Wasitiy from certain persons of our people who has said the following: “Once abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.), was asked about the case of Zoroastrians, if they had a prophet. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, they had a prophet. Have you not heard about the letter of the Messenger of Allah (sw) to the people of Makkah? He asked them to accept Islam, otherwise, war is declared against you. They wrote back to the Messenger of Allah (sw) asking him to receive al-Jizyah and leave them to worship their idols. The Prophet (sw) wrote to them, ‘I receive al-Jizyah only from the people of the book.‘ They then wrote to him to rebut him, ‘You think that you do not receive al-Jizyah except from the people of the book, and then receive al-Jizyah from the Majus (Zoroastrian) who have migrated?‘ The Prophet (sw) wrote to them, ‘The Majus had a prophet, but they killed him. They had a book, which they burnt. Their prophet brought them a book on twelve thousand skins of bull.‘“

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I once asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of al-Jizyah of taxpayers and what is received from them from their wine or flesh of pigs and dead animals. He (the Imam) said, ‘They must pay al-Jizyah which is due on their assets from the flesh of pigs and the value of their wine. Whatever is received from them, its sin is upon them, and its value is lawful for the Muslims which they receive as al-Jizyah.’ ”

6. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from ibn abu Ya‘fur who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘al-Jizyah is not terminated (abolished) from lands subject to al-Jizyah. Al-Jizyah is a gift for the immigrants and charity (Zakat) is for its deserving beneficiaries whom Allah has named in His book. They do not have any share in al-Jizyah.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘How vast is Allah’s justice!’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘People will become rich if justice is practiced among them, the skies send their sustenance and the earth will produce its blessings by the permission of Allah, most High.’”
