“All the polytheistic people with whom Islam has concluded peace on the conditions that they recognise its authority, submit themselves to the division [of their land] and pay the kharaj,—are a tributary class, and the soil which they occupy is called the land of kharaj……All the land of which the [Khalif=] Imam has become master by force may be…divided by him among [the Muslims] who have conquered it, and then it becomes land of the tithe” (p. 95.)
