حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْأَزْهَرِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّی يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّکَاةَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 71
It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah S.A.W.W said: ‘I have been commanded to fight the people until they testify to La ilaha ill-Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) and that I am the Messenger of Allah, and they establish regular prayers and pay Zakât.” (Sahih)
