Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: What will be your condition when you will no longer receive (jizyah) dinars and dirhams? Someone asked him: O Abu Hurairah! Do you think this will happen? He said: Yes, by Him in Whose hand is the life of Abu Hurairah! This is the statement of the Truthful and Trusted One, peace and blessings be upon him. The people asked: Why will this happen? He said: When the covenant of Allah and His Messenger is not upheld, as a result Allah Almighty will harden the hearts of the dhimmis and thus they will withhold what is in their hands. By Him in Whose hand is the life of Abu Hurairah! This will certainly happen. He repeated this statement twice.
