Summary
The document adduced here is based on Bernard Lewis’s translation of al-Shāfiʿıī’s version of the pact to be accorded to the Christians by the imām given in Kitāb al-umm (see Lewis, Islam, pp. 219–23).
If the Imām wishes to write a document for the poll-tax (jizya) of non-Muslims, he should write:In the name of God, the Merciful and the Compassionate.
