حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ وَكَفَرَ مَنْ كَفَرَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ـ رضى الله عنه كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ، وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ. فَمَنْ قَالَهَا فَقَدْ عَصَمَ مِنِّي مَالَهُ وَنَفْسَهُ إِلاَّ بِحَقِّهِ، وَحِسَابُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ". فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ لأُقَاتِلَنَّ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الصَّلاَةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ، فَإِنَّ الزَّكَاةَ حَقُّ الْمَالِ، وَاللَّهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عَنَاقًا كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَى مَنْعِهَا. قَالَ عُمَرُ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلاَّ أَنْ قَدْ شَرَحَ اللَّهُ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ.
Abu al-Yaman al-Hakam ibn Nafiʿ related to us: Shuʿayb ibn Abi Hamza informed us, from al-Zuhri, to whom ʿUbayd Allah ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿUtba ibn Masʿud related: Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, Abu Bakr was [in authority], and some of the Arabs disbelieved, ʿUmar said, ‘How can you fight these people when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “I have been commanded to fight the people until they say, ‘There is no god but Allah.’ Whoever says it has protected his property and his life from me, except by its due right; and his reckoning is with Allah.”’ Abu Bakr said, ‘By Allah, I will fight whoever separates prayer from zakat, for zakat is the due right of property. By Allah, if they withhold from me even a young she-goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I will fight them for withholding it.’ ʿUmar said: By Allah, it was only that Allah opened Abu Bakr’s breast [to the decision], and I recognized that it was the truth.
