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 .
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died and Abu Bakr became the caliph some Arabs renegade (reverted todisbelief) (Abu Bakr decided to declare war against them), `Umar, said to Abu Bakr, "How can youfight with these people although Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight thepeople till they say: "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and whoever said it then he willsave his life and property from me except on trespassing the law (rights and conditions for which hewill be punished justly), and his accounts will be with Allah.' "
