حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ ، قَالَ : شَهِدْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ حَيْثُ اجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ ، قَالَ : " كَتَبَ أني أُقِرُّ بِالسَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ علَى سُنَّةِ اللَّهِ وَسُنَّةِ رَسُولِهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ ، وَإِنَّ بَنِيَّ قَدْ أَقَرُّوا بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ " .
Narrated `Abdullah bin Dinar: I witnessed Ibn `Umar when the people gathered around `Abdul Malik. Ibn `Umar wrote: I gave the Pledge of allegiance that I will listen to and obey Allah's Slave, `Abdul Malik, Chief of the believers according to Allah's Laws and the Traditions of His Apostle as much as I can; and my sons too, give the same pledge.'

Hadith Commentary:
What happened was that when Yazid became caliph, Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr radi Allahu anhu did not pledge allegiance to him. As soon as Yazid died, Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr radi Allahu anhu claimed the caliphate. On the other hand, Muawiyah ibn Yazid ibn Muawiyah became caliph; some people pledged allegiance to Abdullah, while others pledged allegiance to Muawiyah ibn Yazid. However, this Muawiyah did not live long—he ruled for only forty days and then passed away, and Marwan became caliph. He lived for six months and then died, appointing his son Abd al-Malik as caliph. Abd al-Malik sent the tyrant Hajjaj ibn Yusuf to fight Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr radi Allahu anhu. When Hajjaj prevailed and Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr was martyred, then all the people unanimously agreed upon Abd al-Malik. At that time, Abdullah ibn Umar radi Allahu anhu, along with his sons, pledged allegiance to him.
The names of Abdullah ibn Umar radi Allahu anhu’s sons were:
(1) Abdullah, (2) Abu Bakr, (3) Abu Ubaydah, (4) Bilal, and (5) Umar. All of these were from Safiyyah bint Abi Ubayd. (6) Abdur Rahman—his mother was Alqamah bint Nafis. (7) Salim, (8) Ubaydullah, and (9) Hamzah—their mother was a slave woman. Similarly, (10) Zayd—his mother was also a slave woman.
