1588. Mālik narrated from Az-Zuhri, that Sā'ib bin Yazīd said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ took the Jizyah from the Zoroastrians of Bāhṛain, and 'Umar took it in Persia, and 'Uthmān took it from the Persians."

١٥٨٨ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ الْبَصْرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: «أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْجِزْيَةَ مِنْ مَجُوسِ الْبَحْرَيْنِ،» وَأَخَذَهَا عُمَرُ مِنْ فَارِسَ، وَأَخَذَهَا عُثْمَانُ مِنَ الْفُرْسِ. وَسَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدًا عَنْ هَذَا، فَقَالَ: هُوَ مَالِكٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
