On the Authenticity of Tabuk Treaties about Jizya

The article completes the formal (hadithological) and substantive verification of the traditions about the tribute Jizya as the motive for the Tabuk expedition (in the ninth year of the Hijra), which was started in the fourth issue for 2023 and continued in the third issue for 2024. These traditions concerning the imposition of such tribute on Christians and Jews from the cities of Eilat, Azruh, Jarba and Maqna (to which the peoples of Azriat, Tabuk and Tayma are sometimes added) are subjected to critical analysis. The study is conducted in line with the reformist orientation towards the reconstruction of traditional political theology and overcoming the exclusivist-militantist interpretations of the Quran teaching and Prophet’s mission.
