قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَاسْتُخْلِفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَكَفَرَ مَنْ كَفَرَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ عُمَرُ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَمَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ عَصَمَ مِنِّي مَالَهُ وَنَفْسَهُ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهِ وَحِسَابُهُ عَلَى اللهِ» قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَاللهِ لَأُقَاتِلَنَّ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ فَإِنَّ الزَّكَاةَ حَقُّ الْمَالِ وَاللهِ لَو مَنَعُونِي عِقَالًا كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَى مَنْعِهِ قَالَ عُمَرُ فَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ رَأَيْتُ اللهَ شَرَحَ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ لِلْقِتَالِ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ

✧ When the Messenger of God ﷺ died and Abu Bakr was appointed as his successor, and those of the Arabs who disbelieved disbelieved, Umar said to Abu Bakr, “How can you fight the people when the Messenger of God ﷺ said: ‘I have been commanded to fight the people until they say, “There is no god but God.” Whoever says, “There is no god but God” has protected from me his wealth and his life, except for its due, and his reckoning is with God’?” Abu Bakr said, “By God, I will surely fight those who separate between prayer and zakat, for zakat is the due on wealth. By God, if they withheld from me a young she-camel that they used to give to the Messenger of God ﷺ, I would fight them over its withholding.” Umar said, “It was only when I saw that God had opened Abu Bakr’s chest to fighting that I knew it was the truth.”
