The muhtasib [market inspector] must take the jizya from them according to their social status. Thus, at the beginning of the year a poor man with a family pays one dinar, while someone of middling wealth pays two dinars and a rich man pays four dinars. When the muhtasib or his agent comes to collect the jizya, he should stand the dhimmi in front of him, slap him on the side of the neck and say: "Pay the jizya, unbeliever." The dhimmi will take his hand out of his pocket holding the jizya and present it to him with humility and submission.78
