58. Narrated Ziyāḍ bin 'Aāqa رضي الله عنه: I heard Jarīr bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنهم (جل جلاله) on the day when Al-Mughīra bin Shu'ba died, he (Jarīr) got up (on the pulpit) and thanked and praised Allāh جل جلاله and said, "Be afraid of Allāh Alone. Who has none along with Him to be worshipped. (You should) be calm and quiet till the (new) chief comes to you and he will come to you soon. Ask Allāh's forgiveness for your (late) chief because he himself loved to forgive others." Jarīr added, "Ammā ba' du (then after), I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Allāh's Messenger! I give my Bai'ah (pledge) to you for Islām.' The Prophet ﷺ conditioned (my pledge) for me to be sincere and true to every Muslim i.e. to order them for the Al-Ma'rūf [i.e., Islāmic Monotheism and all that Islām orders one to do, and to forbid them from the Al-Munkar (i.e., disbelief, polytheism of all kinds, and all that Islām has forbidden), and to help them, and to be merciful and kind to them etc.], so I gave my pledge to him for this. By the Lord of this mosque! I am sincere and true to you (Muslims)." Then Jarīr asked for Allāh's forgiveness and came down (from the pulpit).

58 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلاَقَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَرِيرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ يَوْمَ مَاتَ المُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ، قَامَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: عَلَيْكُمْ بِاتِّقَاءِ اللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَالوَقَارِ، وَالسَّكِينَةِ، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكُمْ أَمِيرٌ، فَإِنَّمَا يَأْتِيكُمُ الآنَ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: اسْتَعْفُوا لِأَمِيرِكُمْ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يُحِبُّ العَفْوَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَإِنِّي أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ: أُبَايِعُكَ عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ فَشَرَطَ عَلَيَّ: «وَالنُّصْحِ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ» فَبَايَعْتُهُ عَلَى هَذَا، وَرَبِّ هَذَا المَسْجِدِ إِنِّي لَنَاصِحٌ لَكُمْ، ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرَ وَنَزَلَ
