English translation
6925. [H. 6924 contd.] Abū Bakr said, “By Allāh! I will fight whoever differentiates between Ṣalāt (prayers) and Zakāt; as Zakāt is the right to be taken from property (according to Allāh’s Orders). By Allāh! If they refused to pay me even a kid they used to pay to Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ, I would fight with them for withholding it.” ‘Umar said, “By Allāh! It was nothing, but I noticed that Allāh opened Abū Bakr’s chest towards the decision to fight, therefore, I realized that his decision was right."
