حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏سَمِعَ بَجَالَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يُحَدِّثُ عَمْرَو بْنَ أَوْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَبَا الشَّعْثَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ كَاتِبًا لِجَزْءِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَمِّ الأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ إِذْ جَاءَنَا كِتَابُ عُمَرَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِسَنَةٍ اقْتُلُوا كُلَّ سَاحِرٍ وَفَرِّقُوا بَيْنَ كُلِّ ذِي مَحْرَمٍ مِنْ الْمَجُوسِ وَانْهَوْهُمْ عَنِ الزَّمْزَمَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَتَلْنَا فِي يَوْمٍ ثَلَاثَةَ سَوَاحِرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَفَرَّقْنَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْمَجُوسِ وَحَرِيمِهِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَصَنَعَ طَعَامًا كَثِيرًا فَدَعَاهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَرَضَ السَّيْفَ عَلَى فَخْذِهِ فَأَكَلُوا وَلَمْ يُزَمْزِمُوا وَأَلْقَوْا وِقْرَ بَغْلٍ أَوْ بَغْلَيْنِ مِنَ الْوَرِقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عُمَرُ أَخَذَ الْجِزْيَةَ مِنَ الْمَجُوسِ حَتَّى شَهِدَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَهَا مِنْ مَجُوسِ هَجَرَ.

I was secretary to Jaz Ibn Muawiyah, the uncle of Ahnaf Ibn Qays. A letter came to us from Umar رضی اللہ عنہ one year before his death, saying: Kill every magician, separate the relatives of prohibited degrees from the Magians, and forbid them to murmur (before eating). So we killed three magicians in one day, and separated from a Magian husband his wife of a prohibited degree according to the Book of Allah. He prepared abundant food and called them, and placed the sword on his thigh. They ate (the food) but did not murmur. They threw (on the ground) one or two mule-loads of silver. Umar رضی اللہ عنہ did not take jizyah from Magians until Abdur Rahman Ibn Awf رضی اللہ عنہ witnessed that the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم had taken jizyah from the Magians of Hajar.
