57. Narrated Jarīr bin Abdullāh رضي الله عنه (1) (Ch.42) (To be sincere and true) 1) To Allāh Ḥajj [i.e. obeying Him, by following His religion of Islamic Monotheism, attributing to Him what He deserves and doing Jihād for His sake and to believe in Him, to fear Him much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden) and love Him much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has ordained)]. 2) To Allāh's Messenger (Muḥammad ﷺ) [i.e. to respect him greatly, and to believe that he ﷺ is Allāh's Messenger, and to fight on his behalf both in his lifetime and after his death and to follow his Sunna (legal ways etc.)]. 3) To the Muslims rulers (i.e. to help them in their job of leading Muslims to the Right Path and alarm them if they are heedless). 4) To all the Muslims (in common) [i.e., to order them for Al-Ma'rūf (i.e., Islamic Monotheism, and all that Islām has ordained), and to forbid them from Al-Munkar (i.e., disbelief, polytheism of all kinds and all that Islām has forbidden), to help them and to be merciful and kind to them etc.]. عنه: I gave Al-Bai'ah (pledge) to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ for the following: 1. Iqāmat-aṣ-Ṣalāt [to perform the (compulsory congregational) Ṣalāt (prayers)]. 2. To pay the Zakāt 3. And to be sincere and true to every Muslim [i.e., to order them for Al-Ma'rūf: (i.e., Islāmic Monotheism, and all that Islām orders one to do), and to forbid them the Al-Munkar (i.e., disbelief, polytheism of all kinds, and all that Islām has forbidden), to help them and to be merciful and kind to them.

57 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسُ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى إِقَامِ الصَّلاَةِ، وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ، وَالنُّصْحِ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ»
