حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَاسْتُخْلِفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَكَفَرَ مَنْ كَفَرَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ، قَالَ عُمَرُ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ، وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ‏.‏ فَمَنْ قَالَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ‏.‏ عَصَمَ مِنِّي مَالَهُ وَنَفْسَهُ، إِلاَّ بِحَقِّهِ، وَحِسَابُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ 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 فَوَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلاَّ أَنْ رَأَيْتُ أَنْ قَدْ شَرَحَ اللَّهُ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ لِلْقِتَالِ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ‏.‏

Narrated Abu Huraira:When the Prophet (ﷺ) died and Abu Bakr became his successor and some of the Arabs reverted to disbelief, `Umar said, "O Abu Bakr! How can you fight these people although Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, 'and whoever said, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', Allah will save his property and his life from me, unless (he does something for which he receives legal punishment) justly, and his account will be with Allah?' "Abu Bakr said, "By Allah! I will fight whoever differentiates between prayers and Zakat as Zakat is the right to be taken from property (according to Allah's Orders). By Allah! If they refused to pay me even a kid they used to pay to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), I would fight with them for withholding it." `Umar said, "By Allah: It was nothing, but I noticed that Allah opened Abu Bakr's chest towards the decision to fight, therefore I realized that his decision was right

Abu Huraira bataate hain: Jab Nabi (SAW) ka intekaal hua aur Abu Bakr unke jaanashin (successor) bane, aur kuch Arab murtad ho gaye (Islam se peechhe hat gaye), Umar ne kaha, 'Aye Abu Bakr! Aap in logon se kaise ladh sakte hain jabke Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne kaha, "Mujhe hukm diya gaya hai ke main logon se tab tak ladhun jab tak wo na kahein: 'Allah ke siwa koi ibaadat ke laayak nahi,' aur jo koi kahega 'Allah ke siwa koi ibaadat ke laayak nahi,' Allah uski jaayadaad aur uski jaan mujhse bachaayega, siwaaye (jab wo kuch aisa kare jiski wajah se use kanooni saza mile) jaayez tareeke se, aur uska hisaab Allah ke paas hoga"?' Abu Bakr ne kaha, 'Allah ki qasam! Main us har shaks se ladunga jo namaz aur Zakat ke beech farq karta hai, kyunke Zakat jaayadaad se liya jaane wala haq hai (Allah ke hukm ke mutaabik). Allah ki qasam! Agar wo mujhe ek bhi bakri ka bachcha na dein jo wo Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ko diya karte the, to main unse iske rokne ke liye ladunga.' Umar ne kaha, 'Allah ki qasam: Ye kuch nahi tha, magar maine dekha ke Allah ne Abu Bakr ka seena jang ke faisle ki taraf khol diya, isliye mujhe ehsaas hua ke unka faisla sahi tha.'
