Narrated Umar Ibn AlKhattab: Amr Ibn Aws and AbulShatha reported that Bujalah said: I was secretary to Jaz Ibn Muawiyah; the uncle of Ahnaf Ibn Qays. A letter came to us from Umar one year before his death; saying: Kill every magician; separate the relatives of prohibited degrees from the Magians; and forbid them to murmur before eating. So we killed three magicians in one day; and separated from a Magian husband his wife of a prohibited degree according to the Book of Allah. He prepared abundant food and called them; and placed the sword on his thigh. They ate the food but did not murmur. They threw on the ground one or two mule-loads of silver. Umar did not take jizyah from Magians until Abdulrahman Ibn Awuf witnessed that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had taken jizyah from the Magians of Hajar.
