“ثم كتب⟳ إليه عمر⟳ أن تختم⟳ في رقاب أهل الذمة بالرصاص، ويظهروا مناطقهم، ويجزوا نواصيهم، ويركبوا على⟳ الأكف - جمع⟳ أكاف وهو البردعة - عرض⟳ًا، ولا يضربوا الجزية إلا على⟳ من جرت عليه المواسي، ولا يضربوا على⟳ النساء، ولا على⟳ الولدان ولا يتشبهوا بالمسلمين.”

Then ʾUmar wrote him that the necks of the Dhimmis are to be stamped and marked with lead, that they [the Dhimmis] are to show their [distinguishing] girdles and shave their forelocks, and [that] they [must] [always] ride on ʾukuf (the plural of ʾukkāf, which is the saddle of a donkey or a mule) horizontally. [He also wrote] that they [the Muslim governors] [must] not levy the Jizya except on those whom razors have scraped, nor should they levy it on women and children, and that they [the Dhimmis] [must] never look like the Muslims [in their looks, clothing, and behavior].
