to Allah, that the Prayer may be established and the Zakāhhanded out. Allah-the most
High - says:
فَإِن تَابُوا وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَوَةَ وَ اتَوُا الزَّكَوةَ فَخَلُّوا سَبِيلَهُمْ ﴾ [التوبة: ٥]
"But if they repent and observe the prayer, and give Zakaat, then leave their
way free." (At-Tawbah [9]: 5)
He also said at the end of a verse:
وَإِنتَا بُو وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَوَةَ وَعَاتَوُا الزَّكَوةَ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ ﴾ [التوبة : ١١ ]
"But if they repent, observe the prayer and give Zakat, then they are your brethren in religion." (At-Tawbah [9]: 11)
When they do that, Allah has prohibited their blood and fighting them is not permissible. So, his saying: "... they have preserved from me, their blood and wealth..." contains evidence for the prohibition of fighting Muslims; because the Muslim's blood is protected; it is not permissible to spill his blood without right.
Similarly, his wealth is protected based on his saying:
نفسه لاَ يَحِلُّ مَالُ امْرِئٍ إِلا بِطِيبٍ مِن
w129
"It is not lawful to take a person's wealth except by his being pleased with it." Consequently, the wealth of the Muslim like his blood is prohibited (to be taken), and so is his honor prohibited (to be smeared) based on his saying:
إِنَّ دِمَاءَ كُم وَأَمْوَالَكُم وَأَعْرَاضَكُم عَلَيْكُم حَرَامٌ
"Certainly, your blood and wealth and honor are forbidden on you."

Thus, it is not permissible to extort the wealth of a Muslim or take it without right debts he owed because they are both incumbent in order for him to fulfill the rights that except with his pleasure, unless he refuses to give what is due on it like the Zakah o

His saying: "... they have preserved from me, their blood and wealth..." contains evidence for the sanctity of the blood and wealth of the Muslim; and it also contains
