[ بَعْثُ الرَّسُولِ عَمْرَو بْنَ حَزْمٍ بِعَهْدِهِ إِلَيْهِمْ إلى اليمن ] وَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ إلَيْهِمْ بَعْدَ أَنْ وَلَّى وَفْدُهُمْ عَمْرَو بْنَ حَزْمٍ، لِيُفَقِّهَهُمْ فِي الدِّينِ، وَيُعَلِّمَهُمْ السُّنَّةَ وَمَعَالِمَ الْإِسْلَامِ، وَيَأْخُذُ مِنْهُمْ صَدَقَاتِهِمْ وَكَتَبَ لَهُ كِتَابًا عَهِدَ إلَيْهِ فِيهِ عَهْدَهُ، وَأَمَرَهُ فِيهِ بِأَمْرِهِ: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ: هَذَا بَيَانٌ مِنْ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَوْفُوا بِالْعُقُودِ، عَهْدٌ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، حِينَ بَعَثَهُ إلَى الْيَمَنِ، أَمَرَهُ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ فِي أَمْرِهِ كُلِّهِ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا وَاَلَّذِينَ هُمْ مُحْسِنُونَ، وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ بِالْحَقِّ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ، وَأَنْ يُبَشِّرَ النَّاسَ بِالْخَيْرِ، وَيَأْمُرَهُمْ بِهِ، وَيُعَلِّمَ النَّاسَ الْقُرْآنَ، وَيُفَقِّهَهُمْ فِيهِ، وَيَنْهَى النَّاسَ، فَلَا يَمَسُّ الْقُرْآنَ إنْسَانٌ إلَّا وَهُوَ طَاهِرٌ، وَيُخْبِرَ النَّاسَ بِاَلَّذِي لَهُمْ، وَاَلَّذِي عَلَيْهِمْ، وَيَلِينَ لِلنَّاسِ فِي الْحَقِّ، وَيَشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي الظُّلْمِ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَرِهَ الظُّلْمَ، وَنَهَى عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: أَلَا لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ وَيُبَشِّرَ النَّاسَ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَبِعَمَلِهَا، وَيُنْذِرَ النَّاسَ النَّارَ وَعَمَلَهَا، وَيَسْتَأْلِفَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يُفَقَّهُوا فِي الدِّينِ، وَيُعَلِّمَ النَّاسَ مَعَالِمَ الْحَجِّ وَسُنَّتَهُ وَفَرِيضَتَهُ، وَمَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ، وَالْحَجَّ الْأَكْبَرَ: الْحَجَّ الْأَكْبَرَ، وَالْحَجَّ الْأَصْغَرَ: هُوَ الْعُمْرَةُ. وَيَنْهَى النَّاسَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ أَحَدٌ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ صَغِيرٍ، إلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ ثَوْبًا يُثْنِي طَرَفَيْهِ عَلَى عَاتِقِيهِ؛ وَيَنْهَى النَّاسَ أَنْ يَحْتَبِيَ أَحَدٌ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ يُفْضِي بِفَرْجِهِ إلَى السَّمَاءِ، وَيَنْهَى أَنْ يُعَقِّصَ أَحَدٌ شَعَرَ رَأْسِهِ فِي قَفَاهُ، وَيَنْهَى إذَا كَانَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ هَيْجٌ عَنْ الدُّعَاءِ إلَى الْقَبَائِلِ وَالْعَشَائِرِ، وَلْيَكُنْ دَعَوَاهُمْ إلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، فَمَنْ لَمْ يَدْعُ إلَى اللَّهِ، وَدَعَا إلَى الْقَبَائِلِ وَالْعَشَائِرِ فَلْيُقْطَفُوا بِالسَّيْفِ، حَتَّى تَكُونَ دَعْوَاهُمْ إلَى اللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَيَأْمُرُ النَّاسَ بِإِسْبَاغِ الْوُضُوءِ وُجُوهَهُمْ وَأَيْدِيَهُمْ إلَى الْمَرَافِقِ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ إلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ وَيَمْسَحُونَ بِرُءُوسِهِمْ كَمَا أَمَرَهُمْ اللَّهُ، وَأَمَرَ بِالصَّلَاةِ لِوَقْتِهَا، وَإِتْمَامِ الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ وَالْخُشُوعِ، وَيُغَلِّسُ بِالصُّبْحِ، وَيُهَجِّرُ بِالْهَاجِرَةِ حِينَ تَمِيلُ الشَّمْسُ، وَصَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ وَالشَّمْسُ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُدْبِرَةٌ، وَالْمَغْرِبُ حِينَ يَقْبَلُ اللَّيْلُ، لَا يُؤَخَّرُ حَتَّى تَبْدُوَ النُّجُومُ فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَالْعِشَاءُ أَوَّلُ اللَّيْلِ؛ وَأَمَرَ بِالسَّعْيِ إلَى الْجُمُعَةِ إذَا نُودِيَ لَهَا، وَالْغُسْلِ عِنْدَ الرَّوَاحِ إلَيْهَا؛ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْ الْمَغَانِمِ خُمُسَ اللَّهِ؛ وَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ مِنْ الْعَقَارِ عُشْرَ مَا سَقَتْ الْعَيْنُ وَسَقَتْ السَّمَاءُ، وَعَلَى مَا سَقَى الْغَرْبُ نِصْفَ الْعُشْرِ؛ وَفِي كُلِّ عَشْرٍ مِنْ الْإِبِلِ شَاتَانِ، وَفِي كُلِّ عِشْرِينَ أَرْبَعُ شِيَاهٍ، وَفِي كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ مِنْ الْبَقَرِ بَقَرَةٌ، وَفِي كُلِّ ثَلَاثِينَ مِنْ الْبَقَرِ تَبِيعٌ، جَذَعٌ أَوْ جَذَعَةٌ، وَفِي كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ مِنْ الْغَنَمِ سَائِمَةٌ وَحْدَهَا، شَاةٌ، فَإِنَّهَا فَرِيضَةُ اللَّهِ الَّتِي افْتَرَضَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ، فَمَنْ زَادَ خَيْرًا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ؛ وَأَنَّهُ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْ يَهُودِيٍّ أَوْ نَصْرَانِيٍّ إسْلَامًا خَالِصًا مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، وَدَانَ بِدِينِ الْإِسْلَامِ، فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، لَهُ مِثْلُ مَا لَهُمْ، وَعَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ مَا عَلَيْهِمْ، وَمَنْ كَانَ عَلَى نَصْرَانِيَّتِهِ أَوْ يَهُودِيَّتِهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُرَدُّ عَنْهَا، وَعَلَى كُلِّ حَالِمٍ: ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَى، حُرٍّ أَوْ عَبْدٍ، دِينَارٌ وَافٍ أَوْ عِوَضُهُ ثِيَابًا. فَمَنْ أَدَّى ذَلِكَ، فَإِنَّ لَهُ ذِمَّةَ اللَّهِ وَذِمَّةَ رَسُولِهِ، وَمَنْ مَنَعَ ذَلِكَ، فَإِنَّهُ عَدُوٌّ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ جَمِيعًا؛ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
Translation
✧ [The Messenger’s dispatch of ʿAmr b. Ḥazm with his covenant to them to Yemen] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had sent to them, after their delegation departed, ʿAmr b. Ḥazm, to instruct them in the religion, to teach them the Sunnah and the rites of Islam, and to collect their alms. He wrote for him a document in which he made a covenant with him and commanded him in it: In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful: This is a declaration from Allah and His Messenger. O you who believe, fulfil the contracts. A covenant from Muḥammad the Prophet, the Messenger of Allah, to ʿAmr b. Ḥazm, when he sent him to Yemen. He commanded him to fear Allah in all his affairs, for Allah is with those who fear Him and those who do good. He commanded him to take the truth as Allah commanded him, to give people good tidings and enjoin it upon them, to teach people the Qur’an and instruct them in it, and to forbid people: no one shall touch the Qur’an unless he is ritually pure. He is to inform people of what is due to them and what is due from them, to be gentle with people in the truth, and to be severe with them in wrongdoing, for Allah detests wrongdoing and has forbidden it. He said: Surely the curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers. He is to give people good tidings of Paradise and its deeds, warn people of the Fire and its deeds, and win people over until they are instructed in the religion. He is to teach people the rites of the Pilgrimage, its Sunnah and its obligation, and what Allah has commanded. The greater pilgrimage: the greater pilgrimage; the lesser pilgrimage: it is the ʿumrah. He is to forbid people from praying in a single small garment, unless it is a garment whose two ends he folds over his shoulders. He is to forbid people from wrapping himself in a single garment with his private parts exposed to the sky. He is to forbid anyone from tying his hair in a knot at the nape of his neck. He is to forbid, when there is strife among people, calling upon tribes and clans; their call should be to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, alone, with no partner. Whoever does not call to Allah but calls to tribes and clans, let them be cut down with the sword, until their call is to Allah alone, with no partner. He is to command people to perform ablution thoroughly: their faces, their hands to the elbows, their feet to the ankles, and to wipe their heads as Allah commanded them. He commanded the prayer at its proper time, and the completion of bowing, prostration, and reverence. He is to pray the dawn prayer while it is still dark, and the noon prayer in the midday heat when the sun declines. The afternoon prayer is when the sun is in the earth, turning away; the sunset prayer when night approaches, not delaying it until the stars appear in the sky; and the night prayer at the beginning of the night. He commanded hastening to the Friday prayer when the call is made, and the bath when going to it. He commanded him to take from the spoils Allah’s fifth, and what is written upon the believers in alms from real property: a tenth of what the spring and the sky water, and on what the bucket waters, half a tenth. In every ten camels, two sheep; in every twenty, four sheep; in every forty cattle, one cow; in every thirty cattle, a yearling, male or female; in every forty sheep pasturing alone, one ewe. This is Allah’s obligation which He imposed upon the believers in alms; whoever gives more, it is better for him. And whoever of the Jews or Christians accepts Islam with pure sincerity from himself and adheres to the religion of Islam, he is one of the believers: he has the same as they have, and upon him the same as is upon them. And whoever remains upon his Christianity or Judaism is not to be turned away from it. Upon every adult, male or female, free or slave, is one full dinar or its equivalent in garments. Whoever pays that, he has the protection of Allah and the protection of His Messenger. Whoever refuses that, he is an enemy of Allah, His Messenger, and all the believers. May Allah’s blessings be upon Muḥammad, and peace upon him, and Allah’s mercy and His blessings.
