1556. It was reported from Al-Laith, from 'Aqīl, from Az-Zuhri, that 'Ubaidullāh bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Utbah informed him from Abū Hurairah, who said: "After the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ passed away, and Abū Bakr was in charge after him, and (some of) the Arabs disbelieved, 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb said to Abū Bakr: 'How can you fight the people, even though the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "I have been commanded to fight the people until they say: 'Lā ilāha illallāh' (None has the right to be worshipped but Allāh). So whoever says 'Lā ilāha illallāh' has protected his wealth and his life from me, except for a right, and his judgment will be with Allāh?"'" Abū Bakr said: 'I swear by Allāh, I will fight those who differentiate between As-Salāt (the prayer) and the Zakāt, for the Zakāt is a right upon wealth. I swear by Allāh, if they refuse to give me an 'Iqāl[1] that they used to give to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, I will fight them for that.' So 'Umar said: 'I swear by Allāh, as soon as I saw that Allāh had opened the chest of Abū Bakr (guided him) to fight, I knew that [1] 'Iqāl is the rope or cord with which the camel is tied. The scholars differ over its meaning and relation to the argument here. this was the truth.” (Ṣaḥīh) Abū Dāwūd said: It was reported by Rabāḥ bin Zaid and ‘Abdur-Razzāq from Ma’mar, from Az-Zuhrī, with his chain. Some of them said: “Iqāl.” While Ibn Wahb reported it from Yūnus, he (instead) said: “Anāq” (a female kid goat). Abū Dāwūd said: Shu’aib bin Abī Ḥamzah, Ma’mar, and Az-Zubaidi all said, (in the narration) from Az-Zuhrī for this Ḥadīth that he said: “If they refuse to give me an Ināq.” ‘Anbasah reported a Ḥadīth from Yūnus from Az-Zuhrī, he said: “Ināq.”[1]
