English translation

3093. It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: “When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ died and Abû Bakr was appointed as the Khalifah, and some of the ‘Arabs disbelieved, ‘Umar said: ‘O Abû Bakr! How can you fight the people when the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: I have been commanded to fight the people until they say Lâ ilâha illallâh (there is none worthy of worship except Allâh). Whoever says Lâ ilâha illallâh, his life and his property are safe from me, except for its right, and his reckoning will be with Allâh?' Abû Bakr, may Allâh be pleased with him, said: 'By Allâh, I will surely fight those who separate prayer and Zakâh, for Zakâh is what is due on wealth. By Allâh, if they withhold from me a small she-goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ I will fight them for withholding it.' ('Umar said) 'By Allâh, when I realized that Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, had opened the chest of Abû Bakr to fighting, then I knew that it was the truth.'" (Sahîh)

3091 - أَخْبَرَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاسْتُخْلِفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَكَفَرَ مَنْ كَفَرَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ، وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، فَمَنْ قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، عَصَمَ مِنِّي نَفْسَهُ وَمَالَهُ، إِلَّا بِحَقِّهِ، وَحِسَابُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ " قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: وَاللَّهِ لَأُقَاتِلَنَّ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ، فَإِنَّ الزَّكَاةَ حَقُّ الْمَالِ، وَاللَّهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عَنَاقًا كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَى مَنْعِهَا «فَوَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ رَأَيْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ شَرَحَ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، لِلْقِتَالِ وَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ»

Commentary

This narration and its elucidation have preceded. (See Hadîth 2445) What he meant to state was that I am not at all prepared to allow any reduction or change to take place in the matter of the payment of Zakâh.
