Sahih al-Bukhari 3027 (Book 58, Hadith 1)
year when Mus`ab bin Az-Zubair was the leader of the pilgrims of Basra. We were sitting at the steps
of Zamzam well and Bajala said, “I was the clerk of Juz bin Muawiya, Al-Ahnaf’s paternal uncle. A
letter came from `Umar bin Al-Khattab one year before his death; and it was read:– “Cancel every
marriage contracted among the Magians between relatives of close kinship (marriages that are
regarded illegal in Islam: a relative of this sort being called Dhu-Mahram.)” `Umar did not take the
Jizya from the Magian infidels till `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf testified that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had taken
the Jizya from the Magians of Hajar.

The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
