الفصل الثالث 1790 - عن ابي هريرة قال: لما توفي النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - واستخلف ابو بكر بعده، وكفر من كفر من العرب، قال عمر بن الخطاب لابى بكر: كيف تقاتل الناس وقد قال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -:"امرت ان اقاتل الناس حتى يقولوا لا إله إلا الله، فمن قال لا إله إلا الله عصم مني ماله ونفسه إلا بحقه وحسابه على الله"؟ فقال ابو بكر: والله لاقاتلن من فرق بين الصلاة والزكاة  ، فإن الزكاة حق المال، والله لو منعوني عناقا كانوا يؤدونها إلى رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - لقاتلتهم على منعها، قال عمر: فوالله ما هو إلا رايت ان الله شرح صدر ابي بكر للقتال، فعرفت انه الحق. متفق عليه.
Abu Huraira said that when Abu Bakr was made the Prophet's successor after his death and infidelity arose among certain Arabs, ‘Umar b. al-Khattab asked Abu Bakr how he could fight with the people when God’s messenger had said,“I have been commanded to fight with the people till they say there is no god but God, so whoever says so has protected his property and his person from me except for what is due from him, and his reckoning is left to God.”Abu Bakr replied,“I swear by God that I will certainly fight with those who make a distinction between prayer and zakat, for the zakat is what is due from property. I swear by God that if they were to refuse me a female kid which they used to pay to God’s messenger I would fight with them over the refusal of it." ‘Umar then said,“I swear by God that I clearly saw God had made Abu Bakr feel justified in fighting, and I recognised that it was right." (Bukhari and Muslim).
