The questioner : The response to the critic of the hadith:
I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and they establish prayer أُمِرتُ أن أقاتلَ الناس حتَّى يشهدوا أن لا إله إلا الله ، وأنَّ محمدًا رسول الله ، ويقيموا الصلاة
Sahih Muslim 22
Does the failure to establish prayer testify that he is a disbeliever?

The Shaykh : Complete the hadith!

I have been commanded to fight the people until they bear witness to La ilaha illallah أُمِرتُ أن أقاتلَ الناس حتى يشهدوا أن لا إله إلا الله
