حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو سَمِعَ بَجَالَةَ يَقُولُ
كُنْتُ كَاتِبًا لِجَزْءِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَمِّ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، فَأَتَانَا كِتَابُ عُمَرَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِسَنَةٍ: أَنِ اقْتُلُوا كُلَّ سَاحِرٍ - وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: وَسَاحِرَةٍ - وَفَرِّقُوا بَيْنَ كُلِّ ذِي مَحْرَمٍ مِنَ الْمَجُوسِ، وَانْهُوهُمْ عَنِ الزَّمْزَمَةِ، فَقَتَلْنَا ثَلَاثَ سَوَاحِرَ، وَجَعَلْنَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلِ وَبَيْنَ حَرِيمَتِهِ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ، وَصَنَعَ جَزْءٌ طَعَامًا كَثِيرًا، وَعَرَضَ السَّيْفَ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ، وَدَعَا الْمَجُوسَ، فَأَلْقَوْا وِقْرَ بَغْلٍ، أَوْ بَغْلَيْنِ مِنْ وَرِقٍ، وَأَكَلُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ زَمْزَمَةٍ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عُمَرُ أَخَذَ، وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: قَبِلَ الْجِزْيَةَ مِنَ الْمَجُوسِ حَتَّى شَهِدَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَخَذَهَا مِنْ مَجُوسِ هَجَرَ،

✧ I was a scribe for Jazʾ b. Muʿāwiyah, the paternal uncle of al-Aḥnaf b. Qays, when ʿUmar’s letter came to us a year before his death: “Kill every sorcerer—and Sufyān sometimes said: and sorceress—and separate every mahram among the Magians, and forbid them from the zamzamah.” So we killed three sorceresses, and we separated a man from his intimate female relative according to the Book of Allah. Jazʾ prepared a great deal of food, placed the sword on his thigh, invited the Magians, and they threw down a mule-load or two mule-loads of silver, and they ate without zamzamah. ʿUmar had not taken—and Sufyān sometimes said: accepted—the jizyah from the Magians until ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf testified that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took it from the Magians of Hajar.
