[4771] 42 - (...) It was narrated that Junâdah bin Abî Umayyah said: "We entered upon 'Ubâdah bin Aş-Şâmit when he was sick. We said: 'Tell us, may Allâh give you health, a Hadîth by means of which Allâh may benefit us, that you heard from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ.' He said: 'The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ called us, and we swore allegiance to him, and among the pledges that he took from us was that we would hear and obey, whether we liked it or not, at times of hardship and times of ease, even if the leaders acted in a selfish manner, and promising not to contest any position of authority, and he said: "Unless you see blatant Kufr (disbelief), for which you have proof from Allâh."

Arabic text

42 - (1709) حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ وَهْبِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمِّي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنِي بُكَيْرٌ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ جُنَادَةَ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ، قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَى عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ، فَقُلْنَا: حَدِّثْنَا أَصْلَحَكَ اللهُ، بِحَدِيثٍ يَنْفَعُ اللهُ بِهِ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: دَعَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ، فَكَانَ فِيمَا أَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا: «أَنْ بَايَعَنَا عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِي مَنْشَطِنَا وَمَكْرَهِنَا، وَعُسْرِنَا وَيُسْرِنَا، وَأَثَرَةٍ عَلَيْنَا، وَأَنْ لَا نُنَازِعَ الْأَمْرَ أَهْلَهُ»، قَالَ: «إِلَّا أَنْ تَرَوْا كُفْرًا بَوَاحًا عِنْدَكُمْ مِنَ اللهِ فِيهِ بُرْهَانٌ»
