‏{‏ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ‏}‏ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَنَحْنُ فِي قُبَّةٍ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَقَالَ فِيهِ ‏"‏ إِنَّهُ أُوحِيَ إِلَىَّ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ نَحْوَهُ ‏.‏

[Ahmad ibn Sulayman reported to us.] ʿUbaydullah said: Israʾil narrated to us, from Simak, from al-Nuʿman ibn Salim, from a man who related to him, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came to us while we were in a tent in the mosque of Madinah. He said in this report: ‘It has been revealed to me that I should fight the people until they say, “There is no god but Allah.”’ The report is similar.
