2960. Narrated Yazīd bin 'Ubaid: Salama رضي الله عنه said, "I gave the Bai'a (pledge) (Ar-Riḍwān) to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and then I moved to the shade of a tree. When the number of people around the Prophet ﷺ diminished, he said, 'O Ibn Al-Akwa! Will you not give to me the Bai'a (pledge)?' I replied, 'O Allāh's Messenger! I have already given to you the Bai'a (pledge).' He said, 'Do it again.' So I gave the Bai'a (pledge) for the second time." I asked "O Abū Muslim! For what did you give the Bai'a (pledge) on that day?" He replied, "We gave the Bai'a (pledge) for death."

Arabic text

2960 - حَدَّثَنَا المَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: بَايَعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ عَدَلْتُ إِلَى ظِلِّ الشَّجَرَةِ، فَلَمَّا خَفَّ النَّاسُ قَالَ: «يَا ابْنَ الأَكْوَعِ أَلاَ تُبَايِعُ؟» قَالَ: قُلْتُ: قَدْ بَايَعْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «وَأَيْضًا» فَبَايَعْتُهُ الثَّانِيَةَ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا أَبَا مُسْلِمٍ عَلَى أَيِّ شَيْءٍ كُنْتُمْ تُبَايِعُونَ يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ قَالَ: عَلَى المَوْتِ
