بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي بَيْعَةِ الرَّضْوَانِChapter on What Has Been Reported Regarding the Pledge of Ridwan
Hadith 10802
اُردوEn
عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ كَانَ أَبِي مِمَّنْ بَايَعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ بَيْعَةَ الرِّضْوَانِ فَقَالَ انْطَلَقْنَا فِي قَابِلٍ حَاجِّينَ فَعُمِّيَ عَلَيْنَا مَكَانُهَا فَإِنْ كَانَتْ بَيَّنَتْ لَكُمْ فَأَنْتُمْ أَعْلَمُ
Saeed bin Musayyib narrates from his father, and his father was among those who pledged allegiance (Bay'at al-Ridwan) to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) under the tree. He said: When we went the following year with the intention of Hajj, it became difficult for us to recognize the place of that tree. (That is, it became difficult to determine under which tree and at which place we had pledged allegiance.) If that place has become clear to you, then you would know better about it. The purpose of the companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in saying this is that even in the following year, we could not have certain knowledge of that tree and its place. If someone after us has come to know about it, then his knowledge would be more than ours. The meaning is that no one has certain knowledge of it. (Abdullah Rafiq)
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The times and places of the major events that occurred during the blessed life of the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) were not preserved, nor was this the objective of those noble personalities. The Battle of Badr, the Battle of Uhud, the Battle of Khandaq, the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, the Pledge of Ridwan, the Conquest of Makkah, the ‘umrahs, and the Farewell Pilgrimage (Hajjat al-Wada‘), etc.—neither were the dates of these events commemorated annually, nor were those places visited for the sake of visitation.
