Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: Whenever we gave the Pledge of allegiance to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) for to listen to and obey, he used to say
to us, for as much as you can.”

Narrated `Abdullah bin Dinar: I witnessed Ibn `Umar when the people gathered around `Abdul Malik. Ibn `Umar wrote: I gave the
Pledge of allegiance that I will listen to and obey Allah’s Slave, `Abdul Malik, Chief of the believers
according to Allah’s Laws and the Traditions of His Apostle as much as I can; and my sons too, give
the same pledge.’

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: I gave the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) that I would listen and obey, and he told me to add: ‘As
much as I can, and will give good advice to every Muslim.’

Narrated `Abdullah bin Dinar: When the people took the oath of allegiance to `Abdul Malik, `Abdullah bin `Umar wrote to him: “To
Allah’s Slave, `Abdul Malik, Chief of the believers, I give the Pledge of allegiance that I will listen to
and obey Allah’s Slave, `Abdul Malik, Chief of the believers, according to Allah’s Laws and the
Traditions of His Apostle in whatever is within my ability; and my sons too, give the same pledge.”

Narrated Yazid: I said to Salama, “For what did you give the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) on the Day of
Hudaibiya?” He replied, “For death.”

Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama: The group of people whom `Umar had selected as candidates for the Caliphate gathered and consulted
each other. `Abdur-Rahman said to them, “I am not going to compete with you in this matter, but if
you wish, I would select for you a caliph from among you.”
So all of them agreed to let `Abdur-Rahman decide the case. So when the candidates placed the case
in the hands of `Abdur-Rahman, the people went towards him and nobody followed the rest of the
group nor obeyed any after him. So the people followed `Abdur-Rahman and consulted him all those
nights till there came the night we gave the oath of allegiance to `Uthman. Al-Miswar (bin Makhrama)
added: `Abdur-Rahman called on me after a portion of the night had passed and knocked on my door
till I got up, and he said to me, “I see you have been sleeping! By Allah, during the last three nights I
have not slept enough. Go and call Az-Zubair and Sa`d.’
So I called them for him and he consulted them and then called me saying, ‘Call `Ali for me.” I called
`Ali and he held a private talk with him till very late at night, and then ‘Al, got up to leave having had
much hope (to be chosen as a Caliph) but `Abdur-Rahman was afraid of something concerning `Ali.
`Abdur-Rahman then said to me, “Call `Uthman for me.” I called him and he kept on speaking to him
privately till the Mu’adh-dhin put an end to their talk by announcing the Adhan for the Fajr prayer.
When the people finished their morning prayer and that (six men) group gathered near the pulpit,
`Abdur-Rahman sent for all the Muhajirin (emigrants) and the Ansar present there and sent for the
army chief who had performed the Hajj with `Umar that year. When all of them had gathered, `Abdur-
Rahman said, “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,” and added, “Now then, O `Ali, I have
looked at the people’s tendencies and noticed that they do not consider anybody equal to `Uthman, so
you should not incur blame (by disagreeing).” Then `Abdur-Rahman said (to `Uthman), “I gave the
oath of allegiance to you on condition that you will follow Allah’s Laws and the traditions of Allah’s
Apostle and the traditions of the two Caliphs after him.” So `Abdur-Rahman gave the oath of
allegiance to him, and so did the people including the Muhajirin (emigrants) and the Ansar and the
chiefs of the army staff and all the Muslims.

Narrated Salama: We gave the oath of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) under the tree. He said to me, “O Salama! Will you not
give the oath of allegiance?” I replied, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I have already given the oath of allegiance
for the first time.” He said, (Give it again) for the second time.

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: A bedouin gave the Pledge of allegiance to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) for Islam and the bedouin got a fever
where upon he said to the Prophet (ﷺ) “Cancel my Pledge.” But the Prophet (ﷺ) refused. He came to him
(again) saying, “Cancel my Pledge.’ But the Prophet (ﷺ) refused. Then (the bedouin) left (Medina). Allah’s
Apostle said: “Medina is like a pair of bellows (furnace): It expels its impurities and brightens and
clears its good.”

Narrated Abu Laila bin `Abdullah bin `Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl: Sahl bin Abi Hathma and some great men of his tribe said, `Abdullah bin ‘Sahl and Muhaiyisa went
out to Khaibar as they were struck with poverty and difficult living conditions. Then Muhaiyisa was
informed that `Abdullah had been killed and thrown in a pit or a spring. Muhaiyisa went to the Jews
and said, “By Allah, you have killed my companion.” The Jews said, “By Allah, we have not killed
him.” Muhaiyisa then came back to his people and told them the story. He, his elder brother
Huwaiyisa and `Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl came (to the Prophet) and he who had been at Khaibar,
proceeded to speak, but the Prophet (ﷺ) said to Muhaiyisa, “The eldest! The eldest!” meaning, “Let the
eldest of you speak.” So Huwaiyisa spoke first and then Muhaiyisa. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The Jews
should either pay the blood money of your (deceased) companion or be ready for war.” After that
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) wrote a letter to the Jews in that respect, and they wrote that they had not killed him.
Then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said to Huwaiyisa, Muhaiyisa and `Abdur-Rahman, “Can you take an oath by
which you will be entitled to take the blood money?” They said, “No.” He said (to them), “Shall we
ask the Jews to take an oath before you?” They replied, “But the Jews are not Muslims.” So Allah’s
Apostle gave them one-hundred she-camels as blood money from himself. Sahl added: When those
she-camels were made to enter the house, one of them kicked me with its leg.

Narrated `Abdullah bin Hisham: who was born during the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) that his mother, Zainab bint Humaid had taken him to
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Take his Pledge of allegiance (for Islam).” The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, “He (`Abdullah bin Hisham) is a little child,” and passed his hand over his head and invoked
Allah for him. `Abdullah bin Hisham used to slaughter one sheep as a sacrifice on behalf of all of his
family.
