سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ دِمَاءِ الْمَجُوسِ وَ الْيَهُودِ وَ النَّصَارَى هَلْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ عَلَى مَنْ قَتَلَهُمْ شَيْءٌ إِذَا غَشُّوا الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ أَظْهَرُوا الْعَدَاوَةَ لَهُمْ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ مُتَعَوِّداً لِقَتْلِهِمْ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُسْلِمِ هَلْ يُقْتَلُ بِأَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ وَ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِذَا قَتَلَهُمْ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ مُعْتَاداً لِذَلِكَ لَا يَدَعُ قَتْلَهُمْ فَيُقْتَلُ وَ هُوَ صَاغِرٌ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, or someone else, from Aban, from Ismail Bin Al Fazl who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about blood of the Magian, and the Jew, and the Christian, is there anything upon them and upon the one who kills them, when they overcome the Muslims and display enmity to them?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, except if he is habitual in killing them’. He (the narrator) said: ‘And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the Muslim, would he be killed due to the Zimmy people, and the People of the Book, when he kills them?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, except if it happens to be habitual for that, not leaving killing them, so he would be killed due to it, and he would be belittled’.
