Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from his father that he said to Umar ibn al-Khattab, "There is a blind she- camel behind the house,'' soUmar said, "Hand it over to a household so that they can make (some) use of it." He said, "But she is blind." Umar replied, "Then put it in a line with other camels." He said, "How will it be able to eat from the ground?" Umar asked, "Is it from the livestock of the jizya or the zakat?" and Aslam replied, "From the livestock of the jizya." Umar said, "By AIIah, you wish to eat it." Aslam said, "It has the brand of the jizya on it." So Umar ordered it to be slaughtered. He had nine platters, and on each of the platters he put some of every fruit and delicacy that there was and then sent them to the wives of the Prophet ﷺ and the one he sent to his daughter Hafsa was the last of them all, and if there was any deficiency in any of them it was in Hafsa's portion. "He put meat from the slaughtered animal on the platters and sent them to the wives of the Prophet ﷺ and he ordered what was left of the meat of the slaughtered animal to be prepared. Then he invited the Muhajirun and the Ansar to eat it." Malik said, "I do not think that livestock should be taken from people who pay the jizya except as jizya."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ إِنَّ فِي الظَّهْرِ نَاقَةً عَمْيَاءَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ادْفَعْهَا إِلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ يَنْتَفِعُونَ بِهَا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ وَهِيَ عَمْيَاءُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَقْطُرُونَهَا بِالإِبِلِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ كَيْفَ تَأْكُلُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَمِنْ نَعَمِ الْجِزْيَةِ هِيَ أَمْ مِنْ نَعَمِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقُلْتُ بَلْ مِنْ نَعَمِ الْجِزْيَةِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَرَدْتُمْ وَاللَّهِ أَكْلَهَا فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ عَلَيْهَا وَسْمَ الْجِزْيَةِ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا عُمَرُ فَنُحِرَتْ وَكَانَ عِنْدَهُ صِحَافٌ تِسْعٌ فَلاَ تَكُونُ فَاكِهَةٌ وَلاَ طُرَيْفَةٌ إِلاَّ جَعَلَ مِنْهَا فِي تِلْكَ الصِّحَافِ فَبَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَيَكُونُ الَّذِي يَبْعَثُ بِهِ إِلَى حَفْصَةَ ابْنَتِهِ مِنْ آخِرِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ نُقْصَانٌ كَانَ فِي حَظِّ حَفْصَةَ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ فِي تِلْكَ الصِّحَافِ مِنْ لَحْمِ تِلْكَ الْجَزُورِ فَبَعَثَ بِهِ إِلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَمَرَ بِمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ لَحْمِ تِلْكَ الْجَزُورِ فَصُنِعَ فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالأَنْصَارَ قَالَ مَالِكٌ لاَ أَرَى أَنْ تُؤْخَذَ النَّعَمُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجِزْيَةِ إِلاَّ فِي جِزْيَتِهِمْ  

[Machine] "Is the jizyah (poll tax) a blessing, or is the voluntary charity a blessing?" I said, "No, it is a blessing of the jizyah." Umar said, "By Allah, you intended to eat it." I said, "Indeed, there is the label of jizyah on it." Umar commanded that it be brought, so it was brought, and it was slaughtered. He had nine sahifahs (containers) with him, and no fruit or dessert could be found except that he put some of it into those sahifahs. Then he sent them to the wives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . And the one sent to Hafsah would be the last to reach her, so if there was any deficiency in it, it would be in Hafsah's share. All of them said that. He put some of the meat of those sheep into those sahifahs, and he sent them to the wives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . And he commanded that whatever was left of the meat should be cooked, and he invited the Muhajirin and the Ansar to partake in it."  

«أَمِنْ نَعَمِ الْجِزْيَةِ أَمْ مِنْ نَعَمِ الصَّدَقَةِ؟» قُلْتُ «لَا بَلْ مِنْ نَعَمِ الْجِزْيَةِ» قَالَ عُمَرُ «أَرَدْتُمْ وَاللَّهِ أَكْلَهَا» قُلْتُ «إِنَّ عَلَيْهَا وَسْمُ الْجِزْيَةِ» قَالَ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا عُمَرُ فَأُتِيَ بِهَا فَنُحِرَتْ وَكَانَ عِنْدَهُ صِحَافٌ تِسْعٌ فَلَا تَكُونُ فَاكِهَةٌ وَلَا طَرِيفَةٌ إِلَّا جَعَلَ مِنْهَا فِي تِلْكَ الصِّحَافِ فَبَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَى أَزْوَاجِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَيَكُونُ الَّذِي يُبْعَثُ بِهِ إِلَى حَفْصَةَ مِنْ آخِرِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ نُقْصَانٌ كَانَ فِي حَظِّ حَفْصَةَ ؓ وَعَنْهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ فِي تِلْكَ الصِّحَافِ مِنْ لَحْمِ تِلْكَ الْجَزُورِ فَبَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَى أَزْوَاجِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَمَرَ بِمَا بَقِيَ مِنَ اللَّحْمِ فَصَنَعَ وَدَعَا عَلَيْهَا الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارَ  

"عن أسلمَ أن عمرَ بنَ الخطابِ كان يُؤتَى بنَعَمٍ كثيرة من نَعَمٍ الجزيةِ وأنَّهُ قال لعمرَ بن الخطابِ: إِنَّ فَى الظَّهْرِ لناقةً عمياءَ فقالَ: عمرُ: نَدفُعهَا إلى أهل بيتٍ

ينتفعونَ بهَا، فقلتُ: وهى عَمياءُ؟ قال: يَقْطُرُونَهَا بالإِبل، قلتُ كيفَ تَأكلُ مِن الأَرْضِ؟ فقال: أَمِنْ نَعمِ؟ (الجزية أَم نَعمِ الصدقة؟ ) فقلتُ: من نعَمِ الجزيةِ، فقال: أَرَدْتُمْ واللَّه أَكْلَهَا، فقلتُ: إِنَّ عليهَا وَسْمَ الجزيةِ، فأَمر بِهَا فَنُحِرتْ، وكانَ عنْدَهُ صِحَافٌ تِسْعٌ فلا تكونُ فاكهةٌ ولا طُرفةٌ إلا جعَل فِى تلكَ الصِّحَافِ منها فَيبعَثُ به إلى أَزواج النبىِّ ﷺ ، ويكونُ الذى يَبْعَثُهُ به إلَى حفصَة من آخر ذَلكَ، فإن كَانَ نَقْصًا (*) كان من حظِّ حفصةَ قَال: فجعلَ في تلك الصِّحَافِ من لحِم تلك الجذورِ فَبَعَثَ بِهِ إلى أَزْوَاجِ النبىِّ ﷺ ، وأمرَ بمَا بَقِى من اللَّحْمِ فَصُنِعَ، فدعَا عليهِ المهاجرينَ والأنصارَ".
