English translation
3095. It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "When Abû Bakr mobilized to fight them, '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 Allah 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 Most High, had opened the chest of Abû Bakr to fighting them, then I knew that it was the truth.'" (Sahîh)
