The Book on Military Expeditions

Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ، نَحْوَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ وَزَادَ فِيهِ ‏ "‏ فَإِنْ أَبَوْا فَخُذْ مِنْهُمُ الْجِزْيَةَ فَإِنْ أَبَوْا فَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ وَكِيعٌ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، ‏.‏ وَرَوَى غَيْرُ، مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَشَّارٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ، وَذَكَرَ، فِيهِ أَمْرَ الْجِزْيَةِ ‏.‏

"Abu Ahmad narrated to us from Sufyan (who said): "Alqamah bin Marthad narrated to us' - and it is similar in its meaning, but he added in it: "if they refuse, then take the Jizyah from them, and it they refuse then seek aid from Allah against them." This is how it was reported from Waki' and others from Sufyan. And other than Muhammad bin Bash-shar reported it from 'Abdur-Rahman bin Mahdi, and he mentioned the matter of the Jizyah in it.

Narrated by Muhammad bin Bash-shar narrated to us (he said):

Context

This hadith discusses the concept of Jizyah, a tax levied on non-Muslims in an Islamic state. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) instructed that if non-Muslims refuse to pay this tax, one should seek help from Allah against them. This highlights the importance of adhering to agreements and the consequences of refusal in a socio-political context.

Modern Application

In contemporary society, this principle can be seen in the importance of upholding agreements and contracts. When individuals or groups refuse to honor their commitments, seeking assistance through dialogue and lawful means is essential, rather than resorting to conflict.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Divine Command and Jihad because it emphasizes the obligation to uphold agreements and the potential for conflict when these are violated.
