أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، وَعَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالاَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ فَإِذَا قَالُوهَا مَنَعُوا مِنِّي دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلاَّ بِحَقِّهَا وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Ishaq ibn Ibrahim reported to us; he said: Yaʿla ibn ʿUbayd informed us, from al-Aʿmash, from Abu Sufyan, from Jabir, and from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, who both said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘I have been commanded to fight the people until they say, “There is no god but Allah.” When they say it, their lives and property are protected from me, except by a right that is due, and their reckoning is with Allah.’
