Narrated It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:: “When the Messenger of Allah died and Abu Bakr was appointed as Khalifah, and some of the Arab’s disbelieved, Umar said: ‘O Abu Bakr! How can you fight the people when the Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah). Whoever says La ilaha illallah, his life and his property are safe from me, except for its right, and his reckoning will be with Allah?’ Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said: ‘By Allah, I will surely fight those who separate prayer and Zakah, for Zakah is what is due on wealth. By Allah, if they withhold from me a small she-goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allah I will fight them for withholding it.’ (Umar said) ‘By Allah, when I realized that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, had opened the chest of Abu Bakr to fighting, then I knew that it was the truth.’”

اخبرنا كثير بن عبيد، عن محمد بن حرب، عن الزبيدي، عن الزهري، عن عبيد الله بن عبد الله، عن ابي هريرة، قال لما توفي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم واستخلف ابو بكر وكفر من كفر من العرب قال عمر يا ابا بكر كيف تقاتل الناس وقد قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " امرت ان اقاتل الناس حتى يقولوا لا اله الا الله فمن قال لا اله الا الله عصم مني نفسه وماله الا بحقه وحسابه على الله " . قال ابو بكر رضى الله عنه والله لاقاتلن من فرق بين الصلاة والزكاة فان الزكاة حق المال والله لو منعوني عناقا كانوا يودونها الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لقاتلتهم على منعها فوالله ما هو الا ان رايت الله عز وجل قد شرح صدر ابي بكر للقتال وعرفت انه الحق
