[Machine] Abu Bakr used to command his officials when he sent them to fight apostates, saying: "If you reach a town that is fortified, mention this hadith until you reach the following part: 'So set it on fire, kill and fight fiercely in combat. Do not flee or weaken in the face of death for your Prophet.'"
كَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ يَأْمُرُ أُمَرَاءَهُ حِينَ كَانَ يَبْعَثُهُمْ فِي الرِّدَّةِ إِذَا غَشِيتُمْ دَارًا فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ فَشُنُّوهَا غَارَةً فَاقْتُلُوا وَأَحْرِقُوا وَانْهَكُوا فِي الْقَتْلِ وَالْجِرَاحِ لَا يُرَى بِكُمْ وَهَنٌ لِمَوْتِ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ
