English translation

3980. It was narrated that Abū Hurairah said: "So Abū Bakr decided to fight them, then 'Umar said: 'O Abū Bakr, how can you fight the people when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "I have been commanded to fight the people until they say Lā ilāha illallāh, and if they say it, their blood and their wealth will be safe from me except for a right that is due.' Abū Bakr said: 'I will fight whoever separates prayer and Zakāh. By Allāh, if they withhold from me a young goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, I will fight them for withholding it.' 'Umar said: 'By Allāh, as soon as I realized that Allāh has expanded the chest of Abû Bakr to fight them, I knew that it was the truth.” (Sahih)

3975 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ وَسُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، وَذَكَرَ آخَرُ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: فَأَجْمَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لِقِتَالِهِمْ، فَقَالَ 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، فَإِذَا قَالُوهَا عَصَمُوا مِنِّي دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ، إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا "، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: لَأُقَاتِلَنَّ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ، وَالزَّكَاةِ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عَنَاقًا كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَى مَنْعِهَا، قَالَ عُمَرُ: «فَوَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ رَأَيْتُ اللَّهَ قَدْ شَرَحَ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ لِقِتَالِهِمْ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ»

Commentary

‘Had expanded the chest of Abû Bakr’ means he has reached an explicitly clear conclusion on the basis of evidences, and he was not in any doubt or suspicion in that regard.
