عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا لَمْ تَجْتَبُوا دِينَارًا وَلَا دِرْهَمًا؟ فَقِيلَ لَهُ: وَهَلْ تَرَى ذَلِكَ كَائِنًا يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ؟ فَقَالَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ بِيَدِهِ! عَنْ قَوْلِ الصَّادِقِ الْمَصْدُوقِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالُوا: وَعَمَّ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: تُنْتَهَكُ ذِمَّةُ اللَّهِ وَذِمَّةُ رَسُولِهِ فَيَشُدُّ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَ أَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ فَيَمْنَعُونَ مَا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ بِيَدِهِ لَيَكُونَنَّ مَرَّتَيْنِ“
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: What will be your condition when you will no longer receive (jizyah) dinars and dirhams? Someone asked him: O Abu Hurairah! Do you think this will happen? He said: Yes, by Him in Whose hand is the life of Abu Hurairah! This is the statement of the Truthful and Trusted One, peace and blessings be upon him. The people asked: Why will this happen? He said: When the covenant of Allah and His Messenger is not upheld, as a result Allah Almighty will harden the hearts of the dhimmis and thus they will withhold what is in their hands. By Him in Whose hand is the life of Abu Hurairah! This will certainly happen. He repeated this statement twice.
