Hadith 2:158
'Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Ma'mar narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Utbah, who said: When the people of apostasy apostatized during the time of Abu Bakr, 'Umar said: "How can you fight the people, O Abu Bakr, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'I have been commanded to fight the people until they say: "There is no god but Allah." So if they say: "There is no god but Allah," they have protected their blood and their wealth from me, except for its right, and their reckoning is with Allah'?" Abu Bakr said: "By Allah, I will surely fight those who differentiate between the prayer and the zakat, for the zakat is the right of wealth. By Allah, if they refused me a young she-goat that they used to pay to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), I would fight them for it." 'Umar said: "By Allah, it was nothing but that I saw that Allah had expanded the breast of Abu Bakr for the fighting, so I knew that it was the truth."
حدثنا عبد الرزاق، حدثنا معمر، عن الزهري، عن عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن عتبة، قال: لما ارتد أهل الردة في زمان أبي بكر، قال عمر: كيف تقاتل الناس يا أبا بكر وقد قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " أمرت أن أقاتل الناس حتى يقولوا: لا إله إلا الله، فإذا قالوا: لا إله إلا الله، فقد عصموا مني دماءهم وأموالهم إلا بحقها، وحسابهم على الله "؟ فقال أبو بكر: والله لأقاتلن من فرق بين الصلاة والزكاة، فإن الزكاة حق المال، والله لو منعوني عناقا كانوا يؤدونها إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لقاتلتهم عليها. قال عمر: فوالله ما هو إلا أن رأيت أن الله قد شرح صدر أبي بكر للقتال، فعرفت أنه الحق .
