أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ أَبُو الْعَوَّامِ الْقَطَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ
لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ارْتَدَّتِ الْعَرَبُ قَالَ عُمَرُ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُ الْعَرَبَ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ» وَاللهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عَنَاقًا مِمَّا كَانُوا يُعْطُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ عُمَرُ 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 وَالصَّوَابُ حَدِيثُ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, the Arabs apostatized. Umar said: "O Abu Bakr, how can you fight the Arabs?" Abu Bakr said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'I have been commanded to fight the people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, and they establish prayer and give zakah.' By Allah, if they withhold from me a young goat from what they used to give to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I will fight them for it." Umar said: "When I saw that Abu Bakr's opinion had been explained, I knew that it was the truth." Abu Abd al-Rahman said: "Imran al-Qattan is not strong in hadith, and this hadith is a mistake, as is the one before it. The correct version is the hadith of al-Zuhri from Ubayd Allah from Abu Hurayrah."
