nor engrave their signet-rings with Arabic inscriptions, nor sell wine. They must crop the forelocks of their hair, keep to their distinctive dress wherever they are, and fasten their zunnar belts (distinctive sashes); they are not to bury their dead beside the Muslims. They may strike the naqus (wooden clapper) only softly and must not raise their voices in recitation inside their churches in the presence of any Muslims. They are not to go out for Shaanin (Palm Sunday) processions, nor raise their voices during funeral corteges, nor display torches with them. They may not purchase any slave who has been allotted to the Muslims in the division of spoils. Should they violate any of the conditions they have accepted, their covenant of protection is void, and the Muslims may then deal with them as they deal with those who are openly defiant and seditious. Abu Dawud recorded this report in his Sunan.
