English translation

3096. It was narrated that Anas bin Mālik said: "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ died, some of the 'Arabs apostatized.' Umar said: 'O Abū Bakr, how can you fight the 'Arabs? Abū Bakr ﷺ said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: I have been commanded to fight the people until they testify that Lā ilāha illallāh (there is none worthy of worship except Allāh) and that I am the Messenger of Allāh, and establish prayer and pay Zakāh?' By Allāh, if they withhold from me a small she-goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ I will fight them for withholding it.'" (Umar said) 'By Allāh, when I realized that (Abū) Bakr was confident about this idea, then I knew that this was the truth.'" (Sahīh) Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān (An-Nasā'ī) said: 'Imrān Al-Qaṭṭān is not strong in Hadīth, and this narration is a mistake. The one that is before it is the correct narration of Az-Zuhrī, from 'Ubaidullāh bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Utbah, from Abū Hurairah.

3094 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ أَبُو الْعَوَّامِ الْقَطَّانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ارْتَدَّتْ الْعَرَبُ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُ الْعَرَبَ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: إِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ، وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ» وَاللَّهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عَنَاقًا مِمَّا كَانُوا يُعْطُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ عُمَرُ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: «فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ رَأْيَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَدْ شُرِحَ، عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: «عِمْرَانُ الْقَطَّانُ، لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ فِي الْحَدِيثِ، وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ خَطَأٌ، وَالَّذِي قَبْلَهُ الصَّوَابُ، حَدِيثُ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ»

Commentary

'Apostatized': Apostates are of many kinds, but here the conflict is concerning those who refused to pay Zakāh, who maintained that the Zakāh was to be paid specifically to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and that no one else could levy it.
