"عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنِ السَّفَّاحِ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى الشَّيْبَانِىِّ، عَنْ زُرعَةَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ، أَوِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ زُرعَةَ (أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، وَكَلَّمَهُ فِى نَصَارَى بَنِى تَغْلِبَ، وَكَانَ عُمَرُ) قَدْ هَمَّ أَنْ يَأخُذَ مِنْهُمْ الْجِزْيَةَ، فَتَفَرَّقُوا فِى الْبِلَادِ، فَقَالَ النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ زُرعَةَ لعُمَرَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ: إِنَّ بَنِى تَغْلِبَ قَوْمٌ عَرَبٌ يَأنَفُونَ مِنَ الْجِزْيَةِ وَلَيْسَتْ لَهُمْ أَمْوَالٌ، إِنَّمَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ حُرُوثٍ وَمَواشٍ، ولَهُمْ نِكَايَةٌ فِى الْعَدُوِّ فَلَا تُعِنْ عَدُوَّكَ عَلَيك (بِهِمْ) فَصَالَحَهُمْ عُمَرُ (بْنُ الخَطَّابِ) عَلَى أَنْ أَضْعَفَ عَلَيْهِمُ الصَّدَقَةَ وَاشْتَرَطَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ لَا يُنَصِّرُوا أَوْلَادَهُمْ قَالَ مُغِيرَةُ: فَحُدِّثتُ أَنَّ عَلِيًا قَالَ: لَئِنْ تَفَرَّغْتُ لِبَنى تَغْلِبَ لَيَكُونَنَّ لِى فيهِمْ رَأىٌ: لأقْتُلَنَّ مُقَاتِلَهُمْ ولأَسْبِيَن ذرَارِيَهُمْ، قَدْ نَقَضُوا الْعَهْدَ وَبَرِئَتْ مِنْهُمُ الذِّمَةُ حَتَّى نَصَّرُوا أَوْلَادَهُمْ".

"On the authority of al-Mughirah, from al-Saffah ibn al-Muthanna al-Shaybani, from Zur'ah ibn al-Nu'man, or al-Nu'man ibn Zur'ah (that he asked 'Umar ibn al-Khattab and spoke with him about the Christians of the Banu Taghlib, and 'Umar) had resolved to take the jizyah from them, but they dispersed in the lands. Al-Nu'man ibn Zur'ah said to 'Umar: 'O Commander of the Believers, the Banu Taghlib are an Arab people who disdain the jizyah, and they have no wealth; they are only people of tillage and livestock, and they have a strong effect against the enemy, so do not help your enemy against them.' So 'Umar made peace with them on condition that he would double the charity levied on them, and he stipulated that they should not baptize their children. Al-Mughirah said: 'It was reported to me that 'Ali said: "If I am free for the Banu Taghlib, I will have an opinion about them: I will kill their fighters and take their offspring captive. They have broken the covenant, and the dhimmah is cleared of them, since they baptized their children."'"
