3052. Narrated 'Amr bin Maimūn: 'Umar (after he was stabbed), instructed (his would-be-successor) saying, "I urge him (i.e., the new Caliph) to take care of those non-Muslims who are under the protection of Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ in that he should observe the convention agreed upon with them, and fight on their behalf (to secure their safety) and he should not overtax them beyond their capability."

Arabic text

3052 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: «وَأُوصِيهِ بِذِمَّةِ اللَّهِ، وَذِمَّةِ رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنْ يُوفَى لَهُمْ بِعَهْدِهِمْ، وَأَنْ يُقَاتَلَ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ، وَلاَ يُكَلَّفُوا إِلَّا طَاقَتَهُمْ»
