English translation

2961. It was reported by a son of 'Adī bin 'Adī Al-Kindī, that 'Umar bin 'Abdul-'Azīz wrote (to his governors): "Anybody who asks about the usages of the Fai', then tell them it should be according to what 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb, may Allāh be pleased with him, decided. The believers saw it a just ruling, in accordance with the saying of the Prophet ﷺ: 'Allāh has placed the truth upon Umar's tongue and in his heart.' He fixed stipends for the Muslims, and provided protection for the people of other religions by levying the Jizyah on them. He did not deduct one fifth from it, nor did he consider it spoils of war."

Arabic text

2961 - حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَائِذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنِي فِيمَا حَدَّثَهُ ابْنٌ لِعَدِيِّ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ الْكِنْدِيِّ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، كَتَبَ إِنَّ مَنْ سَأَلَ عَنْ مَوَاضِعِ الْفَيْءِ، فَهُوَ مَا حَكَمَ فِيهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، فَرَآهُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ عَدْلًا مُوَافِقًا لِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «جَعَلَ اللَّهُ الْحَقَّ عَلَى لِسَانِ عُمَرَ وَقَلْبِهِ» فَرَضَ الْأَعْطِيَةَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَعَقَدَ لِأَهْلِ الْأَدْيَانِ ذِمَّةً بِمَا فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الجِزْيَةِ، لَمْ يَضْرِبْ فِيهَا بِخُمُسٍ وَلَا مَغْنَمٍ
