Chapter on Poll Tax; Jizyah

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى جَمِيعاً عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:» جَرَتِ اَلسُّنَّةُ أَنْ لاَ تُؤْخَذَ اَلْجِزْيَةُ مِنَ اَلْمَعْتُوهِ وَ لاَ مِنَ اَلْمَغْلُوبِ عَلَى عَقْلِهِ«.
And from him, from Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, all of them from Abdullah ibn al-Mughirah, from Talhah ibn Zayd, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: Imam عليه السلام said: "The Sunnah has proceeded that jizyah (per-capita poll tax) is not taken from the mentally deficient person (ma'tuh), nor from the one overcome in his intellect."
