Hadith 13

13 صحيح حديث أَبي بَكْر وَعُمَر قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: لَمّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَكانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رضي الله عنه، وَكَفَرَ مَنْ كَفَرَ مِنَ الْعَرَب، فَقالَ عُمَرُ رضي الله عنه: كَيْفَ تُقاتِلُ النَّاسَ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتّى يَقُولوا لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ، فَمَنْ قالَها فَقَدْ عَصَمَ مِنِّي مَالَهُ وَنَفْسَهُ إِلاَّ بِحَقِّهِ، وَحِسابُهُ عَلى اللهِ فَقالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: وَاللهِ لأُقاتِلَنَّ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الصَّلاةِ وَالزَّكاةِ، فَإِنَّ الزَّكاةَ حَقُّ الْمالِ، وَاللهِ لَوْ مَنَعُوني عَناقًا كَانوا يُؤَدُّونَها إِلى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلى مَنْعِها قالَ عُمَر رضي الله عنه: فَواللهِ ما هُوَ إِلاَّ أَنْ قَدْ شَرَحَ اللهُ صَدْرَ أَبي بَكْرٍ رضي الله عنه فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed away and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) became the Caliph, some tribes among the Arabs turned disbelievers (and some refused to pay Zakat, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr intended to fight them). So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "How can you fight with people in the presence of the statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): 'I have been commanded to fight the people until they testify that there is no god but Allah, and whoever testifies to this, his wealth and life will be safe from me except for its due right (i.e., in cases of retribution, etc.), and his reckoning is with Allah.'" Upon this, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "By Allah, I will fight everyone who differentiates between prayer and Zakat (i.e., performs prayer but refuses to pay Zakat), for Zakat is the due right of wealth. By Allah, if they withhold even a young she-goat which they used to give to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), I will fight them for it." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "By Allah, it was nothing but that Allah had opened Abu Bakr's chest for the truth, and later I also realized that Abu Bakr was indeed upon the truth."
