Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet (PBUH) said: I am commanded to fight with men till they testify that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and His Apostle, face our qiblah (direction of prayer), eat what we slaughter, and pray like us. When they do that, their life and property are unlawful for us except what is due to them. They will have the same rights as the Muslims have, and have the same responsibilities as the Muslims have.

Usamah bin Zaid said “The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) sent us with a detachment to Al Huruqat. They learnt about us and fled away. But we found a man, when we attacked him he uttered “There is no god but Allaah, still we struck him till we killed him.” When I mentioned it to the Prophet (PBUH) he said “Who will save you from “There is no god but Allaah” on the Day of Judgment? I said “Messenger of Allah (PBUH), he uttered it for the fear of the weapon.” He said “Did you tear his heart so that you learnt whether he actually uttered it for this or not. Who will support you against “There is no god but Allaah”? He kept on repeating this till I wished I would have embraced Islam on that day. Translation Not Available

Should I kill him, Apostle of Allaah(PBUH) after he uttered it (the credo of Islam)? The Apostle of Allaah(PBUH) said “Do not kill him”. I said “Apostle of Allaah(PBUH), he cut off my hand. The Apostle of Allaah(PBUH) said, Do not kill him. I f you kill him, he will become like you before you kill him and you will become like him before he uttered his credo which he has uttered now.
