Hadith #3052
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ وَأُوصِيهِ بِذِمَّةِ اللَّهِ وَذِمَّةِ رَسُولِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُوفَى لَهُمْ بِعَهْدِهِمْ، وَأَنْ يُقَاتَلَ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ، وَلاَ يُكَلَّفُوا إِلاَّ طَاقَتَهُمْ.
`Umar (after he was stabbed), instructed (his would-be-successor) saying, "I urge him (i.e. the new
Caliph) to take care of those non-Muslims who are under the protection of Allah and His Apostle in
that he should observe the convention agreed upon with them, and fight on their behalf (to secure their
safety) and he should not over-tax them beyond their capability."
