من كان يرى أن لا يدعوهمOne Who Holds the Opinion Not to Invite Polytheists to Islam
Hadith 35280
٣٥٢٨٠ - حدثنا وكيع قال: ثنا أبو هلالى عن الحسن أنه سئل عن العدو: هل يدعون قبل القتال؟ قال: قد بلغهم الإسلام منذ بعث اللَّه محمدا ﷺ.
Hazrat Abu Hilal (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hasan Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked about the enemy: Should they be invited (to Islam) before fighting them? He (may Allah have mercy on him) replied: Since Allah, the Lord of Honor, has sent Muhammad (peace be upon him), indeed the invitation of Islam has already reached them.
