"عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ: كَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ إِلَى أَهْلِ نَجْرَانَ أَنِّى قَدِ اسْتَوْصَيْتُ يَعْلَى بِمَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْكُمْ خَيْرًا، وَأَمَرْتُهُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَنَّ نِصْفَ مَا عَمِلَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، وَلَسْتُ أُرِيدُ إِخْرَاجَكُم مِنْهَا مَا أَصْلَحْتُم وَرَضِيتُ عَمَلَكُمْ".

"On the authority of Ibn Sirin, who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote to the people of Najran: I have instructed Ya'la concerning those of you who have embraced Islam to do good, and I have commanded him to give them half of what they cultivate of the land. I do not intend to expel you from it, as long as you improve it and I am pleased with your work."
