٣٨۔ كِتَابُ قَسْمِ الصَّدَقَاتِ
[Machine] He informed him that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away and Abu Bakr was appointed as his successor, those Arab polytheists who had disbelieved said, "O Abu Bakr, how can you fight the people when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had commanded us to fight until they say, 'There is no deity but Allah'? Whoever says 'There is no deity but Allah' will be protected by me for his wealth and life, except for his due punishment, which will be accounted for by Allah." Abu Bakr said, "By Allah, I will fight those who differentiate between prayer and zakat, for zakat is the right of wealth. By Allah, if they withhold even a small rope (used for tethering livestock), which they used to give to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I will fight them for withholding it." Umar said, "By Allah, it is nothing but that I saw that Allah had opened the heart of Abu Bakr for fighting, so I understood that it is the truth."
أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَاسْتُخْلِفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ بَعْدَهُ وَكَفَرَ مَنْ كَفَرَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ عُمَرُ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَمَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ عَصَمَ مِنِّي مَالَهُ وَنَفْسَهُ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهِ وَحِسَابُهُ عَلَى اللهِ ؟ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ وَاللهِ لَأُقَاتِلَنَّ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ فَإِنَّ الزَّكَاةَ حَقُّ الْمَالِ وَاللهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عَنَاقًا كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَى مَنْعِهَا قَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ فَوَاللهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ رَأَيْتُ اللهَ قَدْ شَرَحَ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ لِلْقِتَالِ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ
[Machine] "He used to sell them to whoever would pay more. Every time he sold a camel, he tightened its reins and then gave the proceeds as charity, meaning with those reins. The Sheikh said, and Imran ibn Dawud al-Qattan narrated from Ma'mar ibn Rashid from Az-Zuhri from Anas in the story of Abu Bakr, he said that Abu Bakr said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me to fight the people until they testify that there is no deity but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, establish prayer, and give zakah. By Allah, if they were to withhold from me a rope that they used to give to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I would fight them for it." And we also narrated this increase regarding the establishment of prayer and payment of zakah from two other sources from Abu Hurairah."
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَبِيعُهَا فِيمَنْ يَزِيدُ كُلَّمَا بَاعَ بَعِيرًا مِنْهَا شَدَّ حَقْوَهُ بِعِقَالِهِ ثُمَّ تَصَدَّقَ بِهَا يَعْنِي بِتِلْكَ الْعِقَالِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَقَدْ رَوَى عِمْرَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْقَطَّانُ عَنْ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسٍ فِي قِصَّةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ قَالَ وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ إِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَاللهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عَنَاقًا مِمَّا كَانُوا يُعْطُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَأُقَاتِلَنَّهُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَوَيْنَا هَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةَ فِي إِقَامَةِ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ مِنْ وَجْهَيْنِ آخَرَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have been commanded to fight against people until they testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, establish prayer, and give zakat. When they do this, their blood and wealth are forbidden to be taken, and their account is upon Allah." Sheikh Abu Al-Anbas said, "This is Sa'id bin Kathir bin 'Ubayd's narration. Al-Bukhari and others also narrated it."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ حُرِّمَتْ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَأَمْوَالُهُمْ وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ أَبُو الْعَنْبَسِ هَذَا هُوَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ كَثِيرِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَغَيْرُهُ
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah." (Using translation from Bukhārī 25)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ عَصَمُوا مِنِّي دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِهِمَا سَوَاءٌ
