قَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، رَفَعَهُ قَالَ:

كَتَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى هِرَقْلَ صَاحِبِ الرُّومِ: مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللهِ إِلَى هِرَقْلَ صَاحِبِ الرُّومِ، إِنِّي أَدْعُوكَ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، فَإِنْ أَسْلَمْتَ فَلَكَ مَا لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَعَلَيْكَ مَا عَلَيْهِمْ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَدْخُلْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فَأَعْطِ الْجِزْيَةَ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ: قَاتِلُوا الَّذِينَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللهِ الْآيَةَ، وَإِلَّا فَلَا تَحُلْ بَيْنَ الْفَلَّاحِينَ وَبَيْنَ الْإِسْلَامِ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا فِيهِ أَوْ يُعْطُوا الْجِزْيَةَ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote to Heraclius, the ruler of the Romans: 'From Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, to Heraclius, the ruler of the Romans. I call you to Islam. If you submit, you will have what the Muslims have, and you will be responsible for what they are responsible for. If you do not enter Islam, then pay the jizyah, for Allah, the Exalted, says: Fight those who do not believe in Allah [Quran 9:29]... Otherwise, do not come between the farmers and Islam, that they may enter it or pay the jizyah.'
