[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Muslims are not obligated to pay the 'ushr' (a form of taxation), rather it is for the Jews and Christians." Al-Abbas said, "Ahmad ibn Yunus narrated this from Abu Hamidah, who said Imam Ahmad, may Allah have mercy on him, narrated it and it was also narrated by Al-Bukhari in his history from Ahmad ibn Yunus from Abu Bakr from Nusayr from Ata from Harb ibn Ubaydullah from Abu Hamidah from the Prophet, ﷺ ." Abu Hamza also said that Ata ibn al-Harith al-Thaqafi reported that his father told him and he was among those who had come to the Prophet, ﷺ , as part of a delegation. If this is correct, then Allah knows best, he meant taxing their wealth when they differed in trade. But when they embraced Islam, this was lifted from them.
