English translation

2867. 'Awf bin Mâlik Al-Ashja'i said: "We were with the Prophet ﷺ - seven or eight or nine of us - and he said: 'Will you not give pledge to the Messenger of Allâh?' So we stretched forth our hands and someone said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, we have already given you our pledge. On what basis shall we give this pledge?' He said: '(On the basis that) you will worship Allâh and not associate anything with Him, you will establish the five daily prayers, you will listen and obey' — then he spoke some words under his breath — 'and you will not ask the people for anything.' He said: 'I saw some of that group. If he dropped his whip he would not ask anyone to pick it up for him.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

2867 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ التَّنُوخِيُّ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي - الْحَبِيبُ الْأَمِينُ، أَمَّا هُوَ إِلَيَّ، فَحَبِيبٌ، وَأَمَّا هُوَ عِنْدِي، فَأَمِينٌ - عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَبْعَةً أَوْ ثَمَانِيَةً أَوْ تِسْعَةً، فَقَالَ: «أَلَا تُبَايِعُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ» فَبَسَطْنَا أَيْدِيَنَا، فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّا قَدْ بَايَعْنَاكَ، فَعَلَامَ نُبَايِعُكَ؟ فَقَالَ: «أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا، وَتُقِيمُوا الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ، وَتَسْمَعُوا وَتُطِيعُوا، وَأَسَرَّ كَلِمَةً خُفْيَةً، وَلَا تَسْأَلُوا النَّاسَ شَيْئًا» قَالَ: فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ بَعْضَ أُولَئِكَ النَّفَرِ، يَسْقُطُ سَوْطُهُ، فَلَا يَسْأَلُ أَحَدًا، يُنَاوِلُهُ إِيَّاهُ
