"عن يزيد بن أَبى حبيب قال: كتب عمر بن الخطاب إلى سعدِ بن أَبى وقاص: إِنِّى قدْ كُنْتُ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ النَّاسَ إِلَى الإِسلَامِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، فَمَنِ اسْتَجَابَ لَكَ قَبْلَ الْقِتَالِ فَهُوَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لَهُ مَا لِلمُسْلمِينَ، وَلَهُ سَهْمُهُ فِى الإِسلَامِ، وَمَنِ اسْتَجَابَ لَكَ بَعْدَ الْقِتَال وَبَعْدَ الْهَزِيمَةِ فَمَالُهُ فَئٌ لِلمُسلِمِينَ، لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَدْ أَحْرَزُوهُ قَبلَ إِسْلَامِهِ، فَهَذَا أَمْرِى وَكِتَابِى إِلَيْكَ".

"Yazid ibn Abi Habib said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote to Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas: I had written to you to invite the people to Islam for three days. Whoever responds to you before the fighting, he is a man among the Muslims, with what the Muslims have, and he has his share in Islam. Whoever responds to you after the fighting and after the defeat, his property is fay' for the Muslims, because they had already seized it before his Islam. This is my command and my letter to you."
