Arabic text

2832 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ نِيَارٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّا لَا نَسْتَعِينُ بِمُشْرِكٍ» قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ أَوْ زَيْدٍ

Commentary

Non-Muslims are either open enemies of Muslims, or they live under the protection of Muslims. The first kind of non-Muslim (Harbi, who is in the state of war) cannot join in a Muslim army since Muslims fight against him. The other kind of non-Muslim (Dhimmi) lives under the protection of Muslims. So, the one who is under the protection of Muslims, cannot be demanded to protect Muslims or defend them.
