It is interesting to note that the narrations of al-Baladhuri and Abu Ubayd (died 224 AH) - in his book A l-Amwal from Abdullah Ibn Salih from al-Layth Ibn Said from Yazid Ibn Abi Habib - concur that it was agreed that everything within the City walls should remain in the hands of the inhabitants as long as they paid the Jizya tax. The areas outside the City walls would be in the hands of the conquering Muslims. Abu Ubayed alQassim Ibn Salam, A l-Amwal, (Beriut, 1 986), p. 168. This historical event undoubtedly ties in with our forthcoming discussion of Islam ' s attitude toward plurality, conflict, and justice. Moreover, it supports the hypothesis of one of my postgraduate students, Haitham al-Ratrut, in his doctoral thesis on the status of al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem's early Islamic architecture. From his study of the historical sources, archaeological and architectural studies, and reports on excavations in Jerusalem, al-Ratrut attempts to ascertain whether the area of Al-Aqsa Mosque, on which the Muslims built the mosque after the conquest, fell outside or within the City walls. The author is indebted to Haitham al-Ratrut for providing this information and for introducing him to the narration of Abu Ubayd in his book A l-Amwal.

Karen Armstrong, in her anonymous referee's report on this article, commented on Goitein's claim "that the Jews had acted as guides around the City" by saying that "I have never seen this argued". She argues that "Jews certainly helped the Muslim army as scouts in the countryside of Palestine, but it was the Christian patriarch who showed Umar around Aelia. But the story that Umar brought rabbis with him from Tiberias may have some historical relevance, even if not literally true. These rabbis were ,not brought to show the Muslims around the Bayt al-Maqdis, the city, but to act as consultants about the .reconsecration of the Place . . . " .
