Book 24: Obligatory Charity Tax (Zakat) · Hadith 5

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ وَكَفَرَ مَنْ كَفَرَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ـ رضى الله عنه كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ، وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ‏.‏ فَمَنْ قَالَهَا فَقَدْ عَصَمَ مِنِّي مَالَهُ وَنَفْسَهُ إِلاَّ بِحَقِّهِ، وَحِسَابُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ لأُقَاتِلَنَّ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الصَّلاَةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ، فَإِنَّ الزَّكَاةَ حَقُّ الْمَالِ، وَاللَّهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عَنَاقًا كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَى مَنْعِهَا‏.‏ قَالَ عُمَرُ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلاَّ أَنْ قَدْ شَرَحَ اللَّهُ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ‏.‏

Narrated Abu Huraira:When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died and Abu Bakr became the caliph some Arabs renegade (reverted to disbelief) (Abu Bakr decided to declare war against them), `Umar, said to Abu Bakr, "How can you fight with these people although Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight the people till they say: "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and whoever said it then he will save his life and property from me except on trespassing the law (rights and conditions for which he will be punished justly), and his accounts will be with Allah.' " Abu Bakr said, "By Allah! I will fight those who differentiate between the prayer and the Zakat as Zakat is the compulsory right to be taken from the property (according to Allah's orders) By Allah! If they refuse to pay me even a she-kid which they used to pay at the time of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . I would fight with them for withholding it" Then `Umar said, "By Allah, it was nothing, but Allah opened Abu Bakr's chest towards the decision (to fight) and I came to know that his decision was right

Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ عنہ) bataate hain: Jab Allah ke Rasool ka intiqal hua aur Abu Bakr khalifa bane, kuch Arab murtad (deen se pher gaye) ho gaye (Abu Bakr ne unke khilaf jung ka faisla kiya). Umar ne Abu Bakr se kaha: "Aap in logon se kaise lad sakte hain jabke Allah ke Rasool ne farmaya tha: 'Mujhe hukum diya gaya hai (Allah ki taraf se) ke main logon se laadung jab tak woh yeh na kahen: \"Allah ke siwa koi mabood nahi,\" aur jo isse kahe, woh apni jaan aur maal mujhse mehfooz kar leta hai, siwaye haqq ke (jiske liye insaaf se saza di jaayegi), aur uska hisaab Allah ke zimme hoga'?" Abu Bakr ne kaha: "Allah ki qasam! Main un logon se zaroor laadunga jo namaz aur Zakat ke darmiyan farq karte hain, kyunke Zakat maal par farz haqq hai (Allah ke hukum ke mutabiq). Allah ki qasam! Agar unhone mujhe ek chhoti bakri bhi dene se inkaar kiya jo woh Allah ke Rasool ke zamane mein dete the, main isi wajah se unse jung karunga." Phir Umar ne kaha: "Allah ki qasam, yeh kuch aur nahi tha, balki Allah ne Abu Bakr ka dil is faisle ki taraf khol diya, aur mujhe pata chal gaya ke unka faisla sahih tha."
