Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ أنبأ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ سَعْدٍ الْجَارِيِّ أَوْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ قَالَ مَا نَصَارَى الْعَرَبِ بِأَهْلِ كِتَابٍ وَمَا يَحِلُّ لَنَا ذَبَائِحُهُمْ وَمَا أَنَا بِتَارِكِهِمْ حَتَّى يُسْلِمُوا أَوْ أَضْرِبَ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَإِنَّمَا تَرَكْنَا أَنْ نُجْبِرَهُمْ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ أَوْ نَضْرِبَ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ؛ لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَخَذَ الْجِزْيَةَ مِنْ نَصَارَى الْعَرَبِ وَأَنَّ عُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ وَعَلِيًّا ؓ قَدْ أَقَرُّوهُمْ وَإِنْ كَانَ عُمَرُ قَدْ قَالَ هَذَا لِذَلِكَ لَا يَحِلُّ لَنَا نِكَاحُ نِسَائِهِمْ؛ لِأَنَّ اللهَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ إِنَّمَا أَحَلَّ لَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِمْ نَزَلَ
English Translation
Abdullah ibn Dinar narrated from Sa'd al-Jari or Abdullah ibn Sa'd, the freed slave of Umar ibn al-Khattab, from Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Arab Christians are not People of the Book, and their slaughtered animals are not lawful for us, and I will not leave them until they accept Islam or I strike their necks. Al-Shafi'i said: We only refrain from compelling them to accept Islam or striking their necks because the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) took the jizya from Arab Christians, and Umar, Uthman, and Ali (may Allah be pleased with them) accepted them. Even though Umar said this, it is not lawful for us to marry their women, because Allah Almighty only made lawful for us from the People of the Book those upon whom the Book was revealed.
