2477. Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa' رضي الله عنه: On the day (the battle) of Khaibar the Prophet ﷺ saw fires being lighted. He asked, "Why are these fires being lighted?" The people replied that they were cooking the meat of donkeys. He ﷺ said, "Break the pots and throw away their contents." The people said, "Shall we throw away their contents and wash the pots (rather than break them)?" He said, "Wash them."

2477 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى نِيرَانًا تُوقَدُ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ، قَالَ: «عَلَى مَا تُوقَدُ هَذِهِ النِّيرَانُ؟»، قَالُوا عَلَى الحُمُرِ الإِنْسِيَّةِ، قَالَ: «اكْسِرُوهَا، وَأَهْرِقُوهَا»، قَالُوا: أَلاَ نُهَرِيقُهَا، وَنَغْسِلُهَا، قَالَ: «اغْسِلُوا»، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: " كَانَ ابْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ يَقُولُ: الحُمُرِ الأَنْسِيَّةِ بِنَصْبِ الأَلِفِ وَالنُّونِ "

    (1) (H. 2476) The Jizya is a tax imposed on non-Muslims who would keep their own religion rather than embrace Islām, this will not be accepted by 'Iesa (Jesus) عليه السلام but all people will be required to embrace Islām and there will be no other alternative.
