Taking Ushr and Kharaj

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet sending someone to Bahrain or Hajar and how he took Ushr from the Muslim and Kharaj from the Mushrik.

It was narrated: that Ala bin Hadrami said: "The Messenger of Allah sent me to Bahrain or Hajar. I used to go to a garden that was shared by some brothers, one of whom had become Muslim. I would take the Ushr (one-tenth of the harvest) from the Muslim, and Kharaj from the Mushrik".
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ جُنَيْدٍ الدَّامَغَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَتَّابُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَمْزَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُغِيرَةَ الأَزْدِيَّ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ حَيَّانَ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، قَالَ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ إِلَى الْبَحْرَيْنِ - أَوْ إِلَى هَجَرَ - فَكُنْتُ آتِي الْحَائِطَ يَكُونُ بَيْنَ الإِخْوَةِ يُسْلِمُ أَحَدُهُمْ فَآخُذُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِ الْعُشْرَ وَمِنَ الْمُشْرِكِ الْخَرَاجَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a man named Ala bin Hadrami who was sent by the Prophet Muhammad to Bahrain or Hajar. He used to go to a garden that was shared by some brothers; one of whom had become Muslim. In this garden he would take the Ushr which is one-tenth of the harvest from the Muslim brother and also take Kharaj which is a tax on land owned by non-Muslims from those who were not Muslims. This hadith teaches us that it is important for us to pay taxes as well as give charity in order for us to be able to help those in need. It also teaches us that we should be fair when dealing with people regardless of their religious beliefs or backgrounds.
