Overview
The deed of safe-conduct 'Umar b. al-Khattab wrote for the people of Iliya at their surrender, as the source quotes it from al-Tabari: security for their persons, property, churches and crosses; their churches neither settled nor demolished; no one coerced in religion; no Jew to dwell with them in Iliya; and the jizya upon them. It was written and witnessed by Khalid b. al-Walid, 'Amr b. al-'As, 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf and Mu'awiya b. Abi Sufyan in 15 AH 1. The book notes that "Iliya" — the commonest name at the site, meaning the House of God — is what the document uses 2.
