32. HIS TREATY WITH THE KING OF AILAH AND THE PEOPLE OF JARBA’ AND ADHRUH WHILE ENCAMPED AT TABUK
Ibn Ishaq related that when Allah’s Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, reached Tabook, Yuhannah Ibn Ru’bah, the chief of Ailah, came to him and a treaty was brokered with him in which he agreed to pay the jizya. The people of Jarba’ and Adhruh also did the same and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, wrote for them a document which they kept with themselves. He wrote for Yuhannah and the people of Ailah the following:
“In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. This is a guarantee from Allah and Muhammad, the Prophet and Messenger of Allah, to Yuhannah Ibn Ru’bah and the people of Ailah for their ships and caravans. They, along with those who are with them from the people of Syria, Yemen, and the seamen will all have the protection of Allah and of the Prophet Muhammad. Whoever infringes on this pact from them, his property shall not save him and it is permissible for whoever takes. It is impermissible that they be prevented from their watering places or from a road they want to pass through by land or sea.”
Yoonus narrated from Ibn Ishaq that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, also wrote another document for the people of Jarba’ and Adhruh that they are given the guarantee of Allah and the guarantee of Muhammad and they are obliged to pay voluntarily 100 Dinars and 100 Ooqiyyah every year in the month of Rajab. In return, they are awarded a warranty of sincerity and good relations with the Muslims and those who take recourse to them from among the Muslims. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, gave to the people of Ailah his Burdah along with his document. (The narrator added): Subsequently, Abu Al-Abbas Abdullah Ibn Muhammad purchased it at a price of 300 Deenars.
