TO ZUR'A ZI YAZAN


In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.



From Muhammad, the Prophet of Allah--



To Zur'a Zi Yazan



I declare that there is none to be worshipped except Allah and I am his servant and Prophet.



When my messengers Ma'az Bin Jabal, Abdullah Bin Zaid, Malik Bin Ibada, Aqaba Bin Nimr, Malik Bin Murara and Theri companions reach there, you should welcome them and hand over to them Zakat and Jiziya after collecting these.



Malik Bin Murara has reported to me that from amongst the Zumair Tribe, you have embraced Islam first of all, and that you have been fighting against the infidels. For this, I give you the good news of blessings and I impress upon you to do good to your subjects. Neither should they be treated dishonestly, nor their help withdrawn.



The Prophet of Allah must be obeyed by all, rich or poor. It is not permissible for him or any of his kins to accept charity. Zakat which is received, is for the indigent Muslims, and travellers and that its payment is meant to cleanse wealth.



The people whom I have sent to you, are good followers of mine, by virtue of their knowledge and actions. Therefore, they deserve your good treatment.



Peace be on you and kindness of Allah and His blessings.



Seal: Allah's Prophet Muhammad
