He increased the grants and abolished the taxes, making the Egyptians forget the tyranny and harshness of Usama. Then the Caliph sent for Usama to be arrested, bound in chains, and his hands and feet fastened with iron shackles, and sent to him. So it was done, and Usama died on the way. Habban bin Shari was in charge of the army in Egypt. When Umar heard of this, it greatly displeased him, and he wrote to him: "I see, O son of Abd al-Daru, that you are Habban, that you should impose the jizya on the Dhimmis. For Allah Almighty said: 'If they repent, and establish prayer, and give zakat, then let them go their way. Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.' (9:5) ... and they do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, nor do they follow the religion of truth, from among those who were given the Book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." Habban replied to him: "To proceed, Islam has made the jizya a right. I owe Kharith bin Thabit twenty dinars, which I have used as stipends for the Diwan. If the Commander of the Faithful wishes to order its payment, let him do so." Umar wrote to him: "To proceed, your letter has reached me. I have appointed you governor of the army of Egypt, and I know of your weakness. I have ordered my messenger to strike you on the head twenty lashes. So impose the jizya on whoever becomes Muslim. May Allah curse your opinion. For Allah sent Muhammad as a guide, not as a tax collector. And by my life, it is better for Umar to bring all people into Islam through him." In it, in Rajab of the year 10 AH, the Caliph Umar bin Abd al-Aziz ruled for two years and five months. He appointed his son Abd al-Malik as heir apparent, and then Yazid bin Abd al-Malik. Yazid bin Abd al-Malik appointed Bishr bin Safwan as governor of Egypt. After a short while, he ordered him to go to Africa, and Hanzalah bin Safwan took his place. During his reign, the Caliph ordered the destruction of the remaining idols and statues in Egypt, and most of them were broken. During the reign of Yazid bin Abd al-Malik, Yazid bin al-Muhallab bin Abi Sufrah went out and gathered a large army. Yazid bin Abd al-Malik sent his brother Maslamah, who fought him and killed Yazid bin al-Muhallab and all of the Banu Muhallab bin Abi Sufrah, who were known for their generosity and bravery. The poet said about them: "You are a stranger from your homeland in a time of hardship. You have sought refuge with the Banu al-Muhallab, and you have found their generosity and their care for you to be true to their lineage."
