"عن عبد اللَّه بن أَبى حدرد الأسلمى قال: لما قدمنا مع عمر بن الخطابِ الجابية إذا هو بشيخ من أهل الذمةِ يستطعمُ، فسأل عنه، فقالوا: هذا رجل من أَهْلِ الذمة كَبرَ وضَعُف، فوضع عنه عمر الجزيةَ التى في رقبته وقال: كَلفْتمُوه الجزية حتى إذا ضَعُف تركتموه يَسْتَطْعِم؟ فأجرى عليه من بيت المال عشرةَ دراهم، وكان له عيالٌ".

"It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Abi Hadrad al-Aslami, who said: \"When we came with 'Umar ibn al-Khattab to al-Jabiyah, he saw an old man from the People of the Dhimmah asking for food. He asked about him, and they said: 'This is a man from the People of the Dhimmah who grew old and weak.' 'Umar removed from his neck the jizyah that was imposed upon him and said: 'You imposed the jizyah upon him, and when he became weak you left him to ask for food?' He gave him ten dirhams from the treasury, and he had dependents.\""
