Musnad Ahmad 335
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَبَاحٌ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَفَرَ مَنْ كَفَرَ قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَمَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَقَدْ عَصَمَ مِنِّي مَالَهُ وَنَفْسَهُ وَحِسَابُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَأُقَاتِلَنَّ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ إِنَّ الزَّكَاةَ حَقُّ الْمَالِ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عَنَاقًا كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَى مَنْعِهَا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ رَأَيْتُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ شَرَحَ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِالْقِتَالِ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ.
Ibrahim ibn Khalid narrated to us; Rabbah narrated to us, from Ma‘mar, from al-Zuhri, from ‘Ubayd Allah ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Utbah, from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, passed away and some people disbelieved, ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said, ‘Abu Bakr, how can you fight the people when the Messenger of Allah said, “I was commanded to fight the people until they say, ‘There is no god but Allah.’ Whoever says, ‘There is no god but Allah,’ has protected his wealth and life from me, and his reckoning is with Allah, Mighty and Majestic”?’ Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said, ‘I will certainly fight whoever separates prayer from zakah, for zakah is a due right upon wealth. By Allah, if they withhold from me even a young she-goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allah, I will certainly fight them for withholding it.’ ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said, ‘By Allah, it was only when I saw that Allah had opened Abu Bakr’s heart to fighting that I knew it was the truth.’
