Amr ibn Hazm al-Ansari

After Khalid’s Najran Mission

After Khalid ibn al-Walid brought the people of Najran to Islam, the Prophet ﷺ sent Amr ibn Hazm to them — to teach them their Deen and to collect their zakah. 1 History of Islam · Vol 1 · pp. 233 — Najeebabadi — Amr ibn Hazm sent to Najran and the Banu al-Harith after Khalid as instructor and zakah collector.

The Letter

With him went the Prophet’s ﷺ comprehensive letter — known to the later tradition as the “Letter of Amr ibn Hazm” — laying down zakah rates, salah times, the diyya tables, the rulings on jizyah, and other foundations of the Shari’a. It is one of the most cited primary documents of early Islamic law. 2 Seerat-e-Mustafa · Vol 3 · pp. 168–171 — Idris Kandhlawi — the Letter of Amr ibn Hazm: comprehensive Shari'a rulings on zakah, salah, jizyah.
