3974. It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: “When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ died, the ‘Arabs apostatized, so ‘Umar said: ‘O Abû Bakr, how can you fight the ‘Arabs?’ Abû Bakr said: ‘The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “I have been commanded to fight the people until they bear witness to Lâ ilâha illallâh (there is none worthy of worship except Allâh) and that I am the Messenger of Allâh, and they establish Salâh and pay Zakâh." By Allâh, if they withhold from me a young goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, I will fight them for it.' Umar said: 'By Allâh, as soon as I realized how certain Abû Bakr was, I knew that it was the truth.'" (Sahîh)

3969 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ أَبُو الْعَوَّامِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ارْتَدَّتِ الْعَرَبُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُ الْعَرَبَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: 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: «فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ رَأْيَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَدْ شُرِحَ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ»
