Jami at-Tirmidhi 2608 (Book 40, Hadith 3) #28243
The Commandment to Fight for Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad was commanded to fight people until they accept the Islamic faith, face the Qiblah, eat halal meat and perform Salat. If they do so, their blood and wealth will be protected from harm.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: that the Messenger of Allah said: "I have been ordered to fight the people until they bear witness to La Ilaha Illallah, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, and they face our Qiblah, eat our slaughtered (meat), and perform our Salat. And if they do that, then their blood and wealth will be unlawful to us, except with its due right. For them shall be whatever is for the Muslims, and they shall be obliged with that which the Muslims are obliged".
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَأَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلُوا قِبْلَتَنَا وَيَأْكُلُوا ذَبِيحَتَنَا وَأَنْ يُصَلُّوا صَلاَتَنَا فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْنَا دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَأَمْوَالُهُمْ إِلاَّ بِحَقِّهَا لَهُمْ مَا لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَلَيْهِمْ مَا عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ نَحْوَ هَذَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of a commandment given by Allah to Prophet Muhammad to fight those who do not believe in Islam. It is important for Muslims to protect their faith and spread it through peaceful means such as education and dialogue. However, if these methods fail then it is permissible for Muslims to use force in order to protect themselves from harm or persecution. This hadith also teaches us that if non-Muslims accept the Islamic faith then their blood and wealth should be respected and protected from any form of harm or injustice. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us that non-Muslims should be treated with justice even if they are not Muslim as long as they abide by the laws of Islam such as facing the Qiblah during prayer time, eating only halal meat, etc.
