أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَذَكَر آخَر، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَأَجْمَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لِقِتَالِهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ عُمَرُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ،‏‏‏‏ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا:‏‏‏‏ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا قَالُوهَا عَصَمُوا مِنِّي دِمَاءَهُمْ،‏‏‏‏ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ:‏‏‏‏ لَأُقَاتِلَنَّ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عَنَاقًا كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَى مَنْعِهَا. قَالَ عُمَرُ:‏‏‏‏ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ رَأَيْتُ اللَّهَ قَدْ شَرَحَ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ لِقِتَالِهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ.

So Abu Bakr decided to fight them, then 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: 'O Abu Bakr, how can you fight the people when the Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] said: I have been commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha illallah, and if they say it, their blood and their wealth will be safe from me except for a right that is due.?' Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ said: 'I will fight whoever separates prayer and Zakah. By Allah, if they withhold from me a young goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allah [ﷺ], I will fight them for withholding it.' 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: 'By Allah, as soon as I realized that Allah has expanded the chest of Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ to fight them, I knew that it was the truth.'

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ said
