"عَنْ زياد بن حُدَيْرٍ: أن أباهُ كَانَ يأخذُ من نصرانىٍّ العُشْرَ في كل سنةٍ مرتينِ، فأتى عمرَ بنَ الخطابِ فقالَ: يا أميرَ المؤمنينَ! إن عامِلَكَ يأخُذُ منى العشرَ فِى كُلِّ سنةٍ مرتينِ، فقال له عمر: ليسَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، إنما لَهُ في كلِّ سنةٍ مرةً! ثم أتاه فقالَ: أنا الشيخُ النصرانىُّ، فَقَالَ عمرُ: وأنا الشيخ الْحَنِيفُ قد كَتَبْتُ لكَ في حاجتِكَ".

"From Ziyad ibn Hudayr: that his father used to take a tenth from a Christian twice every year. He came to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab and said: O Commander of the Believers! Indeed your agent takes from me a tenth twice every year. 'Umar said to him: That is not his right; he is only entitled to it once every year! Then he came to him and said: I am the old Christian. 'Umar said: And I am the old Hanif. I have written for you regarding your need."
