حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ وَأُوصِيهِ بِذِمَّةِ اللَّهِ وَذِمَّةِ رَسُولِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُوفَى لَهُمْ بِعَهْدِهِمْ، وَأَنْ يُقَاتَلَ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ، وَلاَ يُكَلَّفُوا إِلاَّ طَاقَتَهُمْ.
Musa ibn Ismaʿil narrated to us: Abu ʿAwana narrated to us, from Husayn, from ʿAmr ibn Maymun, from ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: “I enjoin him, by Allah’s covenant and the covenant of His Messenger (ﷺ), to fulfill their treaty, to fight on their behalf, and not to burden them beyond their capacity.”
