English translation
3041. It was narrated from Ismā'il bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān Al-Qurashī, from Ibn 'Abbās that he said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ made a treaty with the people of Najrān on the basis that they would give to the Muslims two thousand Hullahs, half in Ṣafar, and half in Rajab. And that they would lend the Muslims thirty coats of mail, thirty horses, thirty camels, and thirty of every type of weapon, for use in their campaigns, for which, the Muslims would stand surety until they returned it to them, lest there be any plot or treachery in Yemen. In return for that, no church of theirs would be destroyed, and no priest would be expelled, and they would be left to practise their religion, provided they did not do something wrong or consume Ribā." Ismā'il said: "They consumed Ribā." (Ḍa'if) Abū Dāwūd said: If they broke some of the conditions that were stipulated upon them, then they would have initiated (a violation).
