حَدْيث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا بَعَثَ مُعَاذًا رضي الله عنها عَلى الْيَمنِ قَالَ: إِنَّكَ تَقْدَمُ عَلى قَوْمِ أَهْلِ كِتَابٍ، فَلْيَكُنْ أَوَّلَ مَا تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَيْهِ عِبادَةُ اللهِ، فَإِذَا عَرَفُوا اللهَ فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ خَمْسَ صَلَواتٍ في يَوْمِهِمْ وَلَيْلَتِهِمْ، فَإِذا فَعَلُوا فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ اللهَ فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ زَكاةً مِنْ أَمْوالِهِمْ وَتَردُّ عَلى فُقَرائِهِمْ فَإِذا أَطَاعُوا بِها فَخُذْ مِنْهُمْ وَتَوَقَّ كَرائِم أَمْوالِ النَّاسِ.
Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
When Allâh's Messenger ﷺ sent Mu'adh to Yemen, he said (to him), “You are going to a nation (from) the people of the Scripture (Divine Book — Jews and Christians).” First of all, invite them to worship Allâh (Alone) [i.e. to testify Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh, Muhammad-ar-Rasûl Allâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh, and Muhammad ﷺ is the Messenger of Allâh)] and when they testify that, inform them that Allâh has enjoined on them, five Salât (prayers) in every day and night (in twenty-four hours); and if they did so (start offering these prayers), inform them that Allâh has enjoined on them, the Zakât, and it is to be taken from the rich amongst them and given to the poor amongst them; and if they obey you in that, take Zakât from them but avoid (don't take) the best property of the people as Zakât.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 537, Vol. 2)
