Hadith 8: Jihad in the way of Allah ?????? ?? ???? ????

Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

 ???????? ???? ????????? ???????? ?????? ????????? ??? ?????? ?????? ??????? ??????? ??????? ??? ?????? ?????? ??????? ???????? ?????? ??????????? ??????????????? ?????? ?????????? ????????????? ????? ???????

I have been commanded to fight the people until they say there is no God but Allah. If they say there is no God but Allah, then they will be granted protection from me for their lives and property, except by right of justice, and their reckoning is with Allah.

Then, the Prophet recited the verse:

???????? ?????? ????????? ?????? ?????????? ????????????

Verily, you are only a reminder. You are not over them as a dictator. (88:22)

Ibn Taymiyah commented on this tradition, writing:

????????? ??????? ??????????????? ????????? ?????? ??????? ??? ??????????? ???? ?????? ??????? ??????????????? ????????? ?????? ??????? ????????? ??????????

The meaning of this tradition is to fight those who are waging war, whom Allah has called us to fight. It does not mean to fight those who have made peace, with whom Allah has commanded us to fulfill their peace.

The meaning is that your duty is only to remind them about Allah and to preach to them. You do not have authority to insert faith into their hearts by force; you are not responsible for that.
