According to Sahih Muslim, a collection of hadiths considered most reliable by Muslims, whenever Muhammed appointed a leader of his army or any of his detachments, he would exhort them to give those they fought three choices. They could accept Islam, or they could pay the Jizya. If not, they were to be fought and killed.<ref>Onward Muslim Soldiers by Robert Spencer, Regnery Publishing, 2003, p. 7-8.</ref>.

'''Origin of the term dhimmitude'''
Although the practice goes back to the beginning of the spread of Islam by invasion of conquering armies, the term dhimmitude is often credited to Bat Ye'or an Egyptian-born historian of Jewish heritage who experienced its hardships firsthand. She later became a British citizen when she married British historian and human right activist David Littman in 1959. However, Ye'or herself credited assassinated Lebanese president-elect Bachir Gemayel with coing the term. Previously the practice was called dhimmité in French and dhimmity in English. Ye'or began using the term because it called to mind servitude, a term she felt aptly described the practice.<ref>"Bat Ye'or, Wikipedia</ref>
