Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir — Hadith 2296

«إنك تقدم على قوم أهل كتاب فليكن أول ما تدعوهم إليه عبادة الله فإذا عرفوا الله فأخبرهم أن الله قد فرض عليهم خمس صلوات في يومهم وليلتهم فإذا فعلوا فأخبرهم أن الله قد فرض عليهم زكاة تؤخذ من أموالهم فترد على فقرائهم فإذا أطاعوا بها فخذ منهم وتوق كرائم أموال الناس»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Indeed, you are going to a people who are People of the Book. So let the first thing you call them to be the worship of Allah. When they come to know Allah, inform them that Allah has made five prayers obligatory upon them in their day and night. When they do that, inform them that Allah has made zakah obligatory upon them, to be taken from their wealth and returned to their poor. So when they obey in this, take (the zakah) from them, but avoid the choicest and best of people's wealth."
