Text and translation

English translation

4179. Jarīr said: “I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said to him: ‘I pledge to you to hear and obey in what I like and what I dislike.’ The Prophet ﷺ said: ‘Can you do that, O Jarīr,’ or, ‘Are you able for that?’ He said: Say: As much as I can.' So he accepted my pledge (for that), and that I be sincere toward every Muslim." (Sahih)

Arabic text

4174 - أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ، عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، وَالشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَا: قَالَ جَرِيرٌ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: أُبَايِعُكَ عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِيمَا أَحْبَبْتُ وَفِيمَا كَرِهْتُ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَوَ تَسْتَطِيعُ ذَلِكَ يَا جَرِيرُ، أَوَ تُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ؟» قَالَ: " قُلْ: فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُ «فَبَايَعَنِي» وَالنُّصْحِ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ "

Commentary

'As much as I can': the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ himself showed us the path of ease through his tenderness and mercy.
