7372. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: When the Prophet ﷺ sent Mu'ādīh to Yemen, he said to him, "You are going to a nation from the people of the Scripture, so let the first thing to which you will invite them is to testify the Tauhīd Allāh [i.e., Lā ilāha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh)]. If they accept that, tell them that Allāh has enjoined on them, five compulsory congregational Ṣalāt (prayers) to be offered in one day and one night (24 hours). And if they offer their Ṣalāt (prayer), tell them that Allāh has enjoined on them Zakāt of their properties; and it is to be taken from the rich among them and given to the poor among them. And if they agree to that, then take from them Zakāt, but avoid the best property of the people." [See Hadīth No. 1395 and 4347] (1) (Book 97) (Islamic Monotheism): See the glossary.

7372 - وحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي الأَسْوَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا الفَضْلُ بْنُ العَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا مَعْبَدٍ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ: لَمَّا بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ إِلَى نَحْوِ أَهْلِ اليَمَنِ قَالَ لَهُ: «إِنَّكَ تَقْدَمُ عَلَى قَوْمٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الكِتَابِ، فَلْيَكُنْ أَوَّلَ مَا تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى أَنْ يُوَحِّدُوا اللَّهَ تَعَالَى، فَإِذَا عَرَفُوا ذَلِكَ، فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي يَوْمِهِمْ وَلَيْلَتِهِمْ، فَإِذَا صَلَّوْا، فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ افْتَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ زَكَاةً فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ، تُؤْخَذُ مِنْ غَنِيِّهِمْ فَتُرَدُّ عَلَى فَقِيرِهِمْ، فَإِذَا أَقَرُّوا بِذَلِكَ فَخُذْ مِنْهُمْ، وَتَوَقَّ كَرَائِمَ أَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ»
