حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاسْتُخْلِفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَعْدَهُ وَكَفَرَ مَنْ كَفَرَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ ، قَالَ عُمَرُ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ : كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ ، وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، فَمَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ عَصَمَ مِنِّي مَالَهُ وَنَفْسَهُ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهِ وَحِسَابُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لَأُقَاتِلَنَّ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ ، فَإِنَّ الزَّكَاةَ حَقُّ الْمَالِ ، وَاللَّهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عِقَالًا كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَى مَنْعِهِ " ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : فَوَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ رَأَيْتُ اللَّهَ قَدْ شَرَحَ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ لِلْقِتَالِ ، فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ ، قَالَ ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ : عَنْ اللَّيْثِ عَنَاقًا وَهُوَ أَصَحُّ .
Narrated Abu Huraira: When Allah's Apostle died and Abu Bakr was elected as a Caliph after him, some of the Arabs reverted to disbelief, `Umar said to Abu Bakr, "How dare you fight the people while Allah's Apostle said, I have been ordered to fight the people till they say 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah' And whoever says: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' waves his wealth and his life from me unless he deserves a legal punishment lusty, and his account will be with Allah! Abu Bakr said, "By Allah, I will fight him who discriminates between Zakat and prayers, for Zakat is the Compulsory right to be taken from the wealth By Allah, if they refuse to give me even a tying rope which they use to give to Allah's Apostle, I would fight them for withholding it." `Umar said, 'By Allah, It was nothing, except I saw that Allah had opened the chest of Abu Bakr to the fight, and I came to know for certain that was the truth."

Hadith Commentary:
Because in zakat, a young goat (kid) is indeed included, but a rope is not given as zakat.
Some have said that when the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sent Muhammad ibn Maslamah to collect zakat, he would also take a rope from each person to tie the zakat animals; thus, incidentally, a rope would also be given in zakat.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
After the passing of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, people were divided into three groups, the details of which are as follows:
Some people turned away from Islam and reverted to disbelief, rejecting the laws of Islam and adopting idol worship.
Some people denied the finality of Prophethood and accepted Musaylimah the Liar and Aswad Ansi as claimants to Prophethood.
Abu Bakr as-Siddiq radi Allahu anhu fought against both these groups and put an end to them.
In fighting against them, Umar radi Allahu anhu was his supporter.
There was also a third group who differentiated between prayer and zakat.
Their stance was that after the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, it was not necessary to give zakat to his successor.
Regarding fighting against them, Umar radi Allahu anhu disagreed with Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu, which is mentioned in the aforementioned hadith.
Abu Bakr as-Siddiq radi Allahu anhu, by analogy with prayer, intended to fight against them regarding zakat, whereas Umar al-Faruq radi Allahu anhu argued from the generality of the hadith.
Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu also strengthened his position with the words "the right of Islam" mentioned in the hadith.
After this clarification, Umar radi Allahu anhu was also satisfied.
➋
It should be noted that there is a narration from Ibn Umar radi Allahu anhu that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
"I have been commanded to fight the people until they testify to the two testimonies, establish prayer, and pay zakat. When they do that, they have protected from me their wealth and lives except for the right of Islam, and their (inner) reckoning is with Allah the Exalted." (Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Iman, Hadith: 25)
This hadith was not remembered by Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu; if he had remembered it, he would have presented it instead of analogy, and neither was it before Umar radi Allahu anhu, otherwise he would not have relied on the generality of the hadith in its presence.
It is quite possible that Abdullah ibn Umar radi Allahu anhu, from whom this decisive hadith is narrated, was not present at the time of the discussion and debate, because if he had been present, he could have presented it and immediately ended the disagreement.
➌
Imam al-Bukhari rahimahullah, at the end of the hadith, has considered the word (عقلاً) instead of (عناقا) to be correct, because a kid goat is included in zakat, but a rope is not given in zakat.
And Allah knows best.
