This narration describes jizya as a compensation for the loss of revenue when Muhammad banned Arab polytheists from visiting the Kaaba. | |||
{{Quote|Ibn Kathir. ''Al Sira Al Nabawiyya (The Life Of The Prophet Muhamamd)''. "The Year 9 AH" vol. IV p. 1. Translated by Trevor Le Gassick. Garnet Publishing (Reading, UK). 2000.|It is related from Ibn 'Abbas, Mujahid, Iqkrima, Sa'id b. ]ubayr, Qatada, al-Dahhak and others that when God Almighty decreed that the polytheists should be prevented from approaching the Sacred Mosque, whether in the pilgrimage or at other times, that Quraysh said they would be deprived of the commercial activity that took place during the pilgrimage, and that they would therefore suffer financial loss. And so God compensated them for that by ordering them to battle the people of the scriptures so that they either accepted Islam or paid the jizya tax ''an yadin'', "being in a state of submission".}} | |||
