English translation

7204. Narrated Jarīr bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: I gave the Bai'a (pledge) to the Prophet ﷺ that I would listen and obey, and he told me to add: "As much as I can, and to be sincere and true to every Muslim [i.e. order them for Al-Ma'rūf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained) and forbid them from Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism, and all that Islam has forbidden), and to help them and to be merciful and kind to them]." (See H. 57)

Arabic text

7204 - حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَيَّارٌ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: بَايَعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ، فَلَقَّنَنِي: «فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُ وَالنُّصْحِ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ»
