English translation

3044. It was reported from Bajālāh bin 'Abdah, from Ibn 'Abbās who said: "A man from among the Asbadhīs of Bāhṛain, who were Zoroastrians of Hajar, came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and stayed with him for a while, then he came out. I asked him: 'What was the decree of Allāh and His Messenger concerning you (meaning, Zoroastrians)?' He said: 'Bad.' I said: 'Be quiet.' He said: 'Islam or execution.'" He said: "And 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Awf said: 'He accepted the Jizyah from them.'" Ibn 'Abbās said: "The people followed the statement of 'Abdur-Raḥmān and ignored what I had heard from the Asbadhī man."(Da'f)

3044 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ الْيَمَامِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ قُشَيْرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ بَجَالَةَ بْنِ عَبْدَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَسْبَذِيِّينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَحْرَيْنِ، وَهُمْ مَجُوسُ أَهْلِ هَجَرَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَمَكَثَ عِنْدَهُ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ مَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ فِيكُمْ، قَالَ: شَرٌّ، قُلْتُ: مَهْ؟ قَالَ: «الْإِسْلَامُ، أَوِ الْقَتْلُ»، قَالَ: وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ: «قَبِلَ مِنْهُمُ الْجِزْيَةَ»، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: " فَأَخَذَ النَّاسُ، بِقَوْلِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ: وَتَرَكُوا مَا سَمِعْتُ أَنَا مِنَ الْأَسْبَذِيِّ "
