Hadeeth 8
On the authority of Abdullah ibn Umar
(may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
I have been ordered to fight against the
people until they testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and
that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and until they establish the salah and
pay the zakat. And if they do that then they will have gained protection from
me for their lives and property, unless [they commit acts that are punishable]
in Islam, and their reckoning will be with Allah.
It was related by al-Bukhari and
Muslim.
