ادْعُهُمْ إِلَى الدُّخُولِ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فَإِنْ فَعَلُوهُ فَاقْبَلْ وَ اكْفُفْ ثُمَّ ادْعُهُمْ إِلَى التَّحَوُّلِ مِنْ دَارِهِمْ إِلَى دَارِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَإِنْ فَعَلُوا فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ لَهُمْ مَا لِلْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا عَلَى الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ إِنْ دَخَلُوا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَ اخْتَارُوا دَارَهُمْ فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يَكُونُونَ كَأَعْرَابِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَجْرِي عَلَيْهِمْ حُكْمُ اللَّهِ وَ لَا يَكُونُ لَهُمْ فِي الْفَيْ‏ءِ وَ لَا فِي الْغَنِيمَةِ شَيْ‏ءٌ إِلَّا أَنْ يُجَاهِدُوا مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ Call them to entering into (the fold of) Al-Islam, and if they do so then accept and refrain.

Then call them to the transferring from their houses to a house of the emigrants, and if they do so, then inform them that for them is what is for the emigrants and against them is what is against the emigrants, and if they enter into Al-Islam and choose their houses, then inform them that they would become like the Bedouins of the Muslims.

The Judgment of Allah -azwj would flow upon them and there would not happen to be for them anything is the war booty and the spoils, except that they will be fighting alongside the Muslims.

فَإِنْ أَبَوْا فَادْعُهُمْ إِلَى إِعْطَاءِ الْجِزْيَةِ فَإِنْ فَعَلُوا فَاقْبَلْ مِنْهُمْ وَ اكْفُفْ عَنْهُمْ فَإِنْ أَبَوْا فَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ وَ قَاتِلْهُمْ وَ إِنْ أَنْتَ حَاصَرْتَ أَهْلَ حِصْنٍ أَوْ مَدِينَةٍ فَأَرَادُوا أَنْ تَسْتَنْزِلَهُمْ عَلَى حُكْمِ اللَّهِ فَلَا تَسْتَنْزِلْهُمْ عَلَى حُكْمِ اللَّهِ وَ لَكِنْ أَنْزِلْهُمْ عَلَى حُكْمِكَ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي أَ تُصِيبُ حُكْمَ اللَّهِ فِيهِمْ أَمْ لَا If they refuse, then call them to giving the tribute (taxes), so if they do so then accept from them and refrain from them.

But if they refuse then seek Assistance with Allah -azwj and fight them; and if you were to besiege the people of a fort or a city and they intend to descend to you upon the Judgment of Allah -azwj , do not let them descend upon the Judgment of Allah -azwj , but descend them upon your decision, for you do not know whether you will hit the correct Judgment of Allah -azwj regarding them or not.
