Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-769b
"عَنْ غُضَيْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ: كَتَبَ عَامِلُ عُمَرَ إِلَى عُمَرَ أَنَّ قِبَلَنَا () نَاسًا يُدْعَوْنَ السَّامِرَة يَقْرَأُونَ التَّوْرَاةَ، وَيَسْبِتُونَ السَّبْتَ، وَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بالْبَعْثِ، فَمَا يَرَى أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِى ذَبَائِحِهِمْ؟ فكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ: إِنَّهُمْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الكِتَابِ، ذَبَائِحُهُمْ ذَبَائِحُ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ".

Ghudayf ibn al-Harith said: The governor of 'Umar wrote to 'Umar that near us there are people called the Samirah, who read the Torah, observe the Sabbath, and do not believe in resurrection. What does the Commander of the Believers see regarding their slaughtered animals? 'Umar wrote back to him: "They are a sect of the People of the Book; their slaughtered animals are the slaughtered animals of the People of the Book."
