Mu`adh (May Allah bepleased with him) reported
that Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)
sent me (as a governor of Yemen) and instructed me thus:
"You will go to the people of the Book.
First call them to testify that `there is no true god except Allah,
that I am (Muhammad (PBUH)) the Messenger of Allah.'
If they obey you,
tell them that Allah has enjoined upon them five Salat (prayers)
during the day and night; and if they obey you,
inform them that Allah has made Zakat obligatory upon them;
that it should be collected from their rich
and distributed among their poor;
and if they obey you
refrain from picking up (as a share of Zakat) the best of their wealth.
Beware of the supplication of the oppressed,
for there is no barrier between it and Allah".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
