Sahih al-Bukhari #3029
Jizyah and Mawaada'ah
`Umar sent the Muslims to the great countries to fight the pagans. When Al-Hurmuzan embraced
Islam, `Umar said to him. "I would like to consult you regarding these countries which I intend to
invade." Al-Hurmuzan said, "Yes, the example of these countries and their inhabitants who are the
enemies. of the Muslims, is like a bird with a head, two wings and two legs; If one of its wings got
broken, it would get up over its two legs, with one wing and the head; and if the other wing got
broken, it would get up with two legs and a head, but if its head got destroyed, then the two legs, two
wings and the head would become useless. The head stands for Khosrau, and one wing stands for
Caesar and the other wing stands for Faris. So, order the Muslims to go towards Khosrau." So, `Umar
sent us (to Khosrau) appointing An-Nu`man bin Muqrin as our commander. When we reached the
land of the enemy, the representative of Khosrau came out with forty-thousand warriors, and an
interpreter got up saying, "Let one of you talk to me!"
Al-Mughira replied, "Ask whatever you wish." The other asked, "Who are you?" Al-Mughira replied,
"We are some people from the Arabs; we led a hard, miserable, disastrous life: we used to suck the
hides and the date stones from hunger; we used to wear clothes made up of fur of camels and hair of
goats, and to worship trees and stones. While we were in this state, the Lord of the Heavens and the
Earths, Elevated is His Remembrance and Majestic is His Highness, sent to us from among ourselves
a Prophet whose father and mother are known to us. Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has
ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has
informed us that our Lord says:-- "Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to Paradise
to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become
your master." (Al-Mughira, then blamed An-Nu`man for delaying the attack and) An-Nu' man said to
Al-Mughira, "If you had participated in a similar battle, in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) he would
not have blamed you for waiting, nor would he have disgraced you. But I accompanied Allah's
Apostle in many battles and it was his custom that if he did not fight early by daytime, he would wait
till the wind had started blowing and the time for the prayer was due (i.e. after midday).

فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فَضَرْبَ ٱلرِّقَابِ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَثْخَنتُمُوهُمْ فَشُدُّوا۟ ٱلْوَثَاقَ فَإِمَّا مَنًّۢا بَعْدُ وَإِمَّا فِدَآءً حَتَّىٰ تَضَعَ ٱلْحَرْبُ أَوْزَارَهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَوْ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ لَٱنتَصَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَلَٰكِن لِّيَبْلُوَا۟ بَعْضَكُم بِبَعْضٍۢ ۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَلَن يُضِلَّ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ
So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allah - never will He waste their deeds.

They ask you about the sacred month - about fighting therein. Say, "Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allah and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Haram and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allah. And fitnah is greater than killing." And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever - for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein eternally.
