`Umar (after he was stabbed), instructed (his would-be-successor) saying, "I urge him (i.e. the new
Caliph) to take care of those non-Muslims who are under the protection of Allah and His Apostle in
that he should observe the convention agreed upon with them, and fight on their behalf (to secure their
safety) and he should not over-tax them beyond their capability."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 258
