Chapter: Clarifying the pillars of al-Islam

It is reported on the authority of Ta'us that a man said to 'Abdullah son of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Why don't you carry out a military expedition? Upon which he replied:
I heard the messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Verily, al-Islam is founded on five (pillars): testifying the fact that there is no god but Allah, establishment of prayer, payment of Zakat, fast of Ramadan and Pilgrimage to the House.
An-Nawawee says:
-Some of the wordings of the Hadeeth of Ibn Umar come with الا تغزو showing that Jihad isn't a pillar of Islam.

-This Hadeeth is the basis of understand what Islam is. 

(TN: there is no compulsion in religion rather Islam is built on these five and not compulsion)

[Sharh Muslim (1/250-254)]
