2958. Narrated Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهما: When we reached (Ḥudaibiya) in the next year (of the treaty of Ḥudaibiya), not even two men amongst us agreed unanimously as to which was the tree under which we had given the Bai'a (pledge) and that was out of Allāh's Mercy.(1) (The subnarrator asked Nāfi', "For what did the Prophet ﷺ take their Bai'a (pledge), was it for death?" Nāfi' replied "No, but he took their Bai'a (pledge) for to be patient.")
2958 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: «رَجَعْنَا مِنَ العَامِ المُقْبِلِ فَمَا اجْتَمَعَ مِنَّا اثْنَانِ عَلَى الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي بَايَعْنَا تَحْتَهَا، كَانَتْ رَحْمَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ»، فَسَأَلْتُ نَافِعًا: عَلَى أَيِّ شَيْءٍ بَايَعَهُمْ، عَلَى المَوْتِ؟ قَالَ: «لاَ، بَلْ بَايَعَهُمْ عَلَى الصَّبْرِ»
