إِنْ كَانَ السُّلْطَانُ يَأْخُذُ خَرَاجَهَا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَأْخُذِ السُّلْطَانُ مِنْهَا شَيْئاً فَعَلَيْكَ إِخْرَاجُ عُشْرِ مَا يَكُونُ فِيهَا .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Malik, from Abu Qatada, (It has been narrated) from Sahl Bin Al-Yas’a when he established Sahl Abaad, and asked Abu Al-Hassan Musa<sup>asws</sup> about what to take from it, what was (Obligated) upon him. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If it was so that the Sultan (ruling authority) has taken its taxes, so there is nothing upon you; and if the Sultan (ruling authority) has not taken anything from it, so upon you is its tax of a tenth (10%), whatever happens to be in it’.
