Chapter on Taxation (kharaj) and Jizya (poll Tax)
وَ اَلْمَجُوسُ تُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُمُ اَلْجِزْيَةُ لِأَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ «سُنُّوا بِهِمْ سُنَّةَ أَهْلِ اَلْكِتَابِ وَ كَانَ لَهُمْ نَبِيٌّ اِسْمُهُ دَامَسْبُ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَ كِتَابٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ جَامَاسْبُ كَانَ يَقَعُ فِي اِثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ جِلْدِ ثَوْرٍ فَحَرَّقُوهُ ».
The Magians (Majus) are subject to the payment of jizya because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: "Treat them as you treat the People of the Book." They had a prophet named Damasb, whom they killed, and a scripture called Jamasb, which was inscribed on twelve thousand pieces of ox hide, and they burned it.
