Thy Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) sent Muadh to Yemen and

said, "*Invite the people to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and

I am Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam), and if they obey you to

do so, then teach them that Allah has enjoined on them five prayers in every

day and night (in twenty-four hours), and if they obey you to do so, then

teach them that Allah has made it obligatory for them to pay the Zakat from

their property and it is to be taken from the wealthy among them and given

to the poor.*"

offer prayer perfectly, pay the Zakat and keep good relations with your kith

with Him, offer the (five) prescribed compulsory prayers perfectly, pay the

compulsory Zakat, and fast the month of Ramadan.*" The Bedouin said, "*By

Him, in Whose Hands my life is, I will not do more than this.*" When he (the

A delegation of the tribe of 'Abdul Qais came to the Prophet (sallallaahu

alayhi wa sallam) and said, "*O Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu alayhi wa

sallam)! We are from the tribe of Rabi'a, and the infidels of the tribe of

Mudar stands between us and you; so we cannot come to you except during the

Sacred Months. Please order us to do something (religious deeds) which we

may carry out and also invite to it our people whom we have left behind.*"

The Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "*I order you to do four

things and forbid you four others*: *(I order you) to have faith in Allah,

and confess that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, (and the

Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) gestured with his hand like this

(i.e. one knot) and to offer prayers perfectly and to pay the Zakat, and to

pay one-fifth of the booty in Allah's cause. And I forbid you to use Dubba',

Hantam, Naqir and Muzaffat (all these are the names of utensils used for

preparing alcoholic drinks).



Hadith 2.483 Narrated by Abu Huraira (Radhiallah hu Taala anhu)*



When Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) died and Abu Bakr became

the caliph some Arabs renegade (reverted to disbelief) (Abu Bakr decided to

declare war against them), 'Umar, said to Abu Bakr, "How can you fight with

these people although Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said,

'I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight the people till they say: "*None

has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and whoever said it then he will

save his life and property from me except on trespassing the law (rights and

conditions for which he will be punished justly), and his accounts will be

with Allah.*' " Abu Bakr said, "*By Allah! I will fight those who

differentiate between the prayer and the Zakat as Zakat is the compulsory

right to be taken from the property (according to Allah's orders). By Allah!

If they refuse to pay me even a she-kid which they used to pay at the time

of Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) . I would fight with them

for withholding it*" Then 'Umar said, "*By Allah, it was nothing, but Allah

opened Abu Bakr's chest towards the decision (to fight) and I came to know

that his decision was right.*"
