bukhari:3052Mūsá b. Ismāʿīl > Abū ʿAwānah > Ḥuṣayn > ʿAmr b. Maymūn > ʿUmar > And ʾŪṣīh Bidhimmah Allāh Wadhimmah Rasūlih ﷺ > Yūfá Lahum Biʿahdihim

ʿUmar (after he was stabbed), instructed (his would-be-successor) saying, "I urge him (i.e. the new Caliph) to take care of those non-Muslims who are under the protection of Allah and His Apostle in that he should observe the convention agreed upon with them, and fight on their behalf (to secure their safety) and he should not over-tax them beyond their capability."  

البخاري:٣٠٥٢حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ

وَأُوصِيهِ بِذِمَّةِ اللَّهِ وَذِمَّةِ رَسُولِهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُوفَى لَهُمْ بِعَهْدِهِمْ وَأَنْ يُقَاتَلَ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ وَلاَ يُكَلَّفُوا إِلاَّ طَاقَتَهُمْ
