Jizya is not accepted from a Jew, Christian, or Magian, except by them agreeing that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah to us, and that they not defame him or anything in the religion of Islam, based on the hadith of Thawban that we mentioned earlier, and the word of the Most High: { … and defame your religion, then fight the leaders of disbelief – for indeed they have no oaths … } [Al-tawba 12]. And this is what Malik said, in Al-mustakhrija [by Al-‘Utbi]; he said: Any dhimmi who says “Indeed Muhammad has been sent to you all, not to us” – there is no issue with him. But if he says “He was not a prophet”, he is killed.
