وَبِهِ: عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ:
لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَاسْتُخْلِفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَكَفَرَ مَنْ كَفَرَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا أَبَا 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، فَقَدْ عَصَمَ مِنِّي مَالَهُ وَنَفْسَهُ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهِ، وَحِسَابُهُ عَلَى اللهِ ؟ " فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: لَأُقَاتِلَنَّ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ، وَاللهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عَنَاقًا كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَى مَنْعِهَا، قَالَ عُمَرُ: فَوَاللهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ رَأَيْتُ اللهَ شَرَحَ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ لِلْقِتَالِ، فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ

✧ When the Messenger of God ﷺ died, and Abu Bakr was made successor, and some Arabs disbelieved, Umar said: “O 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 property and his life, except by its right, and his reckoning is with God’?” Abu Bakr said: “I will certainly fight those who separate prayer from zakāt. By God, if they withhold from me a young goat that they used to give to the Messenger of God ﷺ, I will fight them for withholding it.” Umar said: “By God, it was only that I saw God had opened Abu Bakr's chest to fighting, and I knew it was the truth.”

لفظ عناقا أصح أي من رواية من روى عقالا أو أبهمه
machine translationThe wording "ʿanāqan" (a young she-goat) is more sound (aṣaḥḥ), that is, than the narration of the one who narrated "ʿiqālan" (a camel's hobble) or left it unspecified.
