Muslims, Dhimmis, politicians, preachers and academics do not want you to know that but I do. I therefore now exhibit to you the smoking gun evidence.
In his exegesis of 57:25, Ibn Kathir describes the benefits of iron which Allah has given to Muslims for making weapons: swords and spears. In that tafsir, he quotes a saying of Muhammad in which he relates that he was sent with a sword to see that Allah has a monopoly on worship, that he got his livelihood by his spear and he disgraced & humiliated those who disobeyed his order to revert to Islam1.
Search for that hadith in the USC-MSA database and you will not find it. A search for an Arabic phrase from the saying turned up mention of inclusion in Sunan Abu Dawud, Musnad Ahmad & Sahih Bukhari. The part about Moe's spear2 can be found in the English/Arabic edition of Bukhari, but not in the English Only edition.
Fath al-Bari explains the sayings in Imam Bukhari's collection. A search of the Arabic text turned up this3, roughly translated by Google.
- With the sword,
- make my livelihood under the shadow of my spear
- made humiliation and young people who violated my order
- similar to a people is from them
- I sent the sword to the hands of the sword until he worshiped God alone .
- I have no partner, and make my livelihood under the shadow of my spear
- make humiliation and young people who violated my order
- and it resembles a people is one of them .
Moe said that he was sent with a sword to see that only Allah is worshiped. Muslims do not want us to know about that saying because it is clear evidence of the violent character of Moe and Islam.
Moe said that his provision was under the shadow of his spear. Muslims Bowdlerized that saying out of all but two English translations to prevent us from reading it because it is clear evidence of the fact that he got his living by plundering innocent people. Read the quote from Bukhari, vol. 4, page 108 again and pay attention to the first footnote.
No doubt you need some confirmation of that. I found it for you, in Muquaddimah7 Ibn Khldun, a North African Arab Muslim, wrote of Arabs that they were a "savage people". who found their sustenance wherever "the shadow of their lances falls".
The founder of Islam got his living with his spear, by plundering his 'enemies'. The revelation of 9.29 was intended to provide a substitute for the income lost by banning pagan hajj. Read Ibn Kathir's statement of that obvious fact. Note the mention of Jizya in the footnote to the saying in Bukhari. Jizya is ordained in 9.29. "until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. ". Other translations vary.
- until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low
- and they are in a state of subjection.
- pay the jizya with their own hands in a state of complete abasement.
- pay the tribute out of hand and have been humbled.
[...] So, join the fold of Islam or [P.
29] pay the jizyah. Obey Allah
and His Apostle and the messengers of His Apostle, honour them and
dress them in nice clothes, other than the uniform of the ghazis.
[...] If you send them (my messengers) back and do not please
them, I shall not accept anything from you, and shall wage war
against you and make your young ones captive and shall stay your elders.
[...]
We can learn from Islamic law, as practiced in India and the Ottoman Empire, that Jizya is:
- a substitute for destruction
- a source of revenue for Muslims
- a species of punishment for not being Muslim
- collected in a degrading & humiliating manner
- not collected from pagans, atheists or apostates, who must
convert or be executed.
Lest any doubt about the mercenary and martial nature of Islam linger, click through to volume 4 of Bukhari and read the 'books' of Jihad & Khumus.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir: The Benefits Of Iron:
(I was sent with the sword just before the
Hour so that Allah be worshipped alone without partners. My provision was placed under the shadow of
my spear, and those who defy my order were disgraced and
humiliated, and he who imitates a people is one of them.)

Aisha Bewley:
LXXXVII: What is said about spears
It is mentioned from Ibn 'Umar from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "My provision has been placed under the shadow of my spear, and abasement and humility have been placed on the one who disobeys my command."
Furthermore, it is their nature to plunder
whatever other people possess.
Their sustenance lies wherever the shadow of their lances falls. They recognize no
limit in taking the possessions of other people. Whenever their eyes fall upon some
property, furnishings, or utensils, they take it. When they acquire superiority and
royal authority, they have complete power to plunder (as they please). There no
longer exists any political (power) to protect property, and civilization is ruin.
