وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "بَعَثَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ خَالِدَ بْنَ اَلْوَلِيدِ إِلَى اَلْبَحْرَيْنِ فَأَصَابَ بِهَا دِمَاءَ قَوْمٍ مِنَ اَلْيَهُودِ وَ اَلنَّصَارَى وَ اَلْمَجُوسِ فَكَتَبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ إِنِّي أَصَبْتُ دِمَاءَ قَوْمٍ مِنَ اَلْيَهُودِ وَ اَلنَّصَارَى فَوَدَيْتُهُمْ ثَمَانَمِائَةٍ ثَمَانَمِائَةٍ وَ أَصَبْتُ دِمَاءَ قَوْمٍ مِنَ اَلْمَجُوسِ وَ لَمْ تَكُنْ عَهِدْتَ إِلَيَّ فِيهِمْ عَهْداً قَالَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ "إِنَّ دِيَتَهُمْ مِثْلُ دِيَةِ اَلْيَهُودِ وَ اَلنَّصَارَى " وَ قَالَ "إِنَّهُمْ أَهْلُ كِتَابٍ" ".
Ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Samaah ibn Mihran who reported from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام that the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) sent Khalid ibn Al-Walid to Bahrain, where he was involved in shedding the blood of some Jews, Christians, and Magians. Khalid wrote to the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family), saying: "I have shed the blood of some Jews and Christians, and I paid their blood money (diyyah) as eight hundred (dirhams) each. I also shed the blood of some Magians, but you did not give me any prior instruction regarding them." The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) wrote back to him: "Their blood money is the same as that of the Jews and Christians," and he added, "They are People of the Book."
