Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) both report that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) declared: "I have been commanded to fight the people until they recite La ilaha illa Allah (there is none worthy of worship but Allah). When they have recited this statement, they have by doing so protected their wealth and their lives, and their reckoning will be with Allah."
