Hadith 2:36
'Isam ibn Khalid and Abu al-Yaman narrated to us, they said: Shu'ayb ibn Abi Hamzah informed us, from al-Zuhri, who said: 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Utbah ibn Mas'ud narrated to us: That Abu Hurayrah said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) passed away, and Abu Bakr was after him, and those who disbelieved among the Arabs disbelieved, 'Umar said: "O Abu Bakr, how can you fight the people when the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'I have been commanded to fight the people until they say: "There is no god but Allah." Whoever says: "There is no god but Allah," his wealth and his life are protected from me, except by its right, and his reckoning is with Allah'?" Abu Bakr said: "By Allah, I will surely fight"—Abu al-Yaman said: "I will surely kill"—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 be upon him), I would fight them for withholding it." 'Umar said: "By Allah, it was nothing but that I saw that Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, had expanded the breast of Abu Bakr for the fighting, so I knew that it was the truth."
حدثنا عصام بن خالد، وأبو اليمان، قالا: أخبرنا شعيب بن أبي حمزة، عن الزهري، قال: حدثنا عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن عتبة بن مسعود أن أبا هريرة قال: لما توفي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وكان أبو بكر بعده، وكفر من كفر من العرب، قال عمر: يا أبا بكر، كيف تقاتل الناس، وقد قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " أمرت أن أقاتل الناس حتى يقولوا: لا إله إلا الله، فمن قال: لا إله إلا الله، فقد عصم مني ماله ونفسه إلا بحقه، وحسابه على الله "؟ قال أبو بكر: والله لأقاتلن - قال أبو اليمان: لأقتلن - من فرق بين الصلاة والزكاة، فإن الزكاة حق المال، والله لو منعوني عناقا كانوا يؤدونها إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، لقاتلتهم على منعها. قال عمر: فوالله ما هو إلا أن رأيت أن الله عز وجل قد شرح صدر أبي بكر للقتال، فعرفت أنه الحق .
