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 ».
