5. Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from Muhammad ibn Isa, from Mansur, from Hisham ibn Salim, narrated from Abu Abdillah al-Sadiq (as): He was asked about whether the Bedouins (Arab nomads) are obligated to engage in jihad. He replied, "No, unless there is a fear for Islam, in which case they can be sought for assistance." I then asked, "Do they receive any part of the jizya (tribute)?" He said, "No."
5- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الأعْرَابِ عَلَيْهِمْ جِهَادٌ قَالَ لا إِلا أَنْ يُخَافَ عَلَى الإسْلامِ فَيُسْتَعَانَ بِهِمْ قُلْتُ فَلَهُمْ مِنَ الْجِزْيَةِ شَيْ‏ءٌ قَالَ لا.
