انْطَلِقْ عَلَى تَقْوَى اللهِ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَلَا تُرَوِّعَنَّ مُسْلِماً، وَلَا تَجْتَازَنَّ عَلَيْهِ كَارِهاً، وَلَا تَأْخُذَنَّ مِنْهُ أَكثَرَ مِنْ حَقِّ اللهِ فِي مَالِهِ. فَإِذَا قَدِمْتَ عَلَى الْحَيِّ فَانْزِلْ بِمَائِهِمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تُخَالِطَ أَبْيَاتَهُمْ، ثُمَّ امْضِ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالسَّكِينَةِ وَالْوَقَارِ، حَتَّى تَقوُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَتُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَلَا تُخْدِجْ بِالتَّحِيَّةِ لَهُمْ، ثُمَّ تَقُولَ: عِبَادَ اللهِ، أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكُمْ وَلِيُّ اللهِ وَخَلِيفَتُهُ، لِآخُذَ مِنْكُمْ حَقَّ اللهِ فِي أَمْوَالِكُمْ، فَهَلْ لِلَّهِ فِي أَمْوَالِكُمْ مِنْ حَقٍّ فَتُؤَدُّوهُ إِلَى وَلِيِّهِ؟
Move on with the fear of Allāh Who is One and has no partner. Do not frighten any Muslim. Do not pass over his lands so as to make him feel unhappy. Do not take from him more than Allāh’s share in his property. When you go to a tribe, you should get down at their watering place instead of entering their houses. Then proceed towards them with peace and dignity till you stand among them. Then salute them and do not be remiss in greeting them, then say to them, “O’ servants of Allāh, the vicegerent of Allāh and His caliph has sent me to you to collect from you Allāh’s share in your properties. Is there anything of His share in your properties? If so, give it to His vicegerent.”
