English translation
4186. Narrated Nāfi': The people used to say that Ibn 'Umar had embraced Islām (or given the Hudaibīya Pledge) before 'Umar. This is not true. What happened is that 'Umar sent 'Abdullāh to bring his horse from an Anṣārī man so as to fight on it. At that time the people were giving the Bai'a (pledge) to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ near the tree, and 'Umar was not aware of that. So, 'Abdullāh (bin 'Umar) gave the Bai'a (to the Prophet ﷺ) and went to take the horse and brought it to 'Umar. While 'Umar was putting on the armour to get ready for fighting, 'Abdullāh informed him that the people were giving the Bai'a to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ beneath the tree. So 'Umar set out and 'Abdullāh accompanied him till he gave the Bai'a to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, and it was this event that made people say that Ibn 'Umar had embraced Islām (or given the Hudaibiya Pledge) before 'Umar.
