LETTER TO BARIQ TRIBE
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
From Muhammad, Prophet of Allah (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam)
To the People of Bariq
None shall pluck the fruits produced by the people of Bariq,
except with their permission. It shall not be permissible to graze cattle in
their meadows in any season of winter and summer. However, if any Muslim, not
having a meadow, passes through their land with cattle for grazing them, it
shall be the responsibility of the people of Bariq to entertain him for three
days at the maximum.
When fruits in their gardens ripen, a traveller shall be entitled
to pick and eat as many fallen fruits can satisfy his hunger, but he shall not
be entitled to carry the fruit with him.'

TO ZUR'A ZI YAZAN
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
From Muhammad, the Prophet of Allah--
To Zur'a Zi Yazan
I declare that there is none to be worshipped except Allah and I
am his servant and Prophet.
When my messengers Ma'az Bin Jabal, Abdullah Bin Zaid, Malik Bin
Ibada, Aqaba Bin Nimr, Malik Bin Murara and Theri companions reach there, you
should welcome them and hand over to them Zakat and Jiziya after collecting
these.
Malik Bin Murara has reported to me that from amongst the Zumair
Tribe, you have embraced Islam first of all, and that you have been fighting
against the infidels. For this, I give you the good news of blessings and I
impress upon you to do good to your subjects. Neither should they be treated
dishonestly, nor their help withdrawn.
The Prophet of Allah must be obeyed by all, rich or poor. It is
not permissible for him or any of his kins to accept charity. Zakat which is
received, is for the indigent Muslims, and travellers and that its payment is
meant to cleanse wealth.
The people whom I have sent to you, are good followers of mine, by
virtue of their knowledge and actions.
Therefore, they deserve your good treatment.
Peace be on you and kindness of Allah and His blessings.
Seal: Allah's Prophet Muhammad
