Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 9882

وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : مَكَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَشْرَ سِنِينَ يَتْبَعُ النَّاسَ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ بِعُكَاظٍ وَمَجَنَّةٍ ، وَفِي الْمَوْسِمِ بِمِنًى ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ يُؤْوِينِي مَنْ يَنْصُرُنِي حَتَّى أُبَلِّغَ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّي وَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ ؟ " .
حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ ، أَوْ مِنْ مُضَرِ كَذَا ، قَالَ : قَالَ : فَيَأْتِيِهِ قَوْمُهُ ، فَيَقُولُونَ : احْذَرْ غُلَامَ قُرَيْشٍ لَا يَفْتِنُكَ ، وَهُوَ يَمْشِي بَيْنَ رِحَالِهِمْ ، وَهُمْ يُشِيرُونَ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ ، حَتَّى بَعَثَنَا اللَّهُ مِنْ يَثْرِبَ فَآوَيْنَاهُ ، وَصَدَّقْنَاهُ ، فَيَخْرُجُ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا فَيُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَيُقْرِئُهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَيَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَيُسْلِمُونَ بِإِسْلَامِهِ ، حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ دَارٌ مِنْ دُورِ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَّا وَفِيهَا رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يُظْهِرُونَ الْإِسْلَامَ .
ثُمَّ ائْتَمَرُوا جَمِيعًا ، فَقُلْنَا : حَتَّى مَتَى نَتْرُكُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يُطْرَدُ فِي جِبَالِ مَكَّةَ وَيَخَافُ ؟ فَرَحَلَ إِلَيْهِ سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا مِنَّا حَتَّى قَدِمُوا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ فَوَاعَدْنَا شِعْبَ الْعَقَبَةِ ، فَاجْتَمَعُوا عِنْدَهَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَرَجُلَيْنِ حَتَّى تَوَافَيْنَا ، فَقُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَى مَا نُبَايِعُكَ ؟ قَالَ : " تُبَايِعُونِي عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِي النَّشَاطِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالنَّفَقَةِ فِي الْعُسْرِ والْيُسْرِ ، وَعَلَى الْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ ، وَأَنْ تَقُولُوا لِلَّهِ لَا تَخَافُوا فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ ، وَعَلَى أَنْ تَنْصُرُونِي فَتَمْنَعُونِي إِذَا قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِمَّا تَمْنَعُونَ مِنْهُ أَنْفُسَكُمْ ، وَأَزْوَاجَكُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَلَكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ " .
قَالَ : فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ ، وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ أَسْعَدُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُهُمْ ، فَقَالَ : رُوَيْدًا يَا أَهْلَ يَثْرِبَ ، فَإِنَّا لَمْ نَضْرِبْ إِلَيْهِ أَكْبَادَ الْإِبِلِ إِلَّا وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، وَإِنَّ إِخْرَاجَهُ الْيَوْمَ مُفَارَقَةُ الْعَرَبِ كَافَّةً ، وَقَتْلُ خِيَارِكُمْ وَأَنْ تَعَضَّكُمُ السُّيُوفُ ، أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَصْبِرُونَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ، وَأَجْرُكُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ ، وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَخَافُونَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ خَبِيئَةً ، فَتُبَيِّنُوا ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ أَعْذَرُ لَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ، قَالُوا : أَمِطْ عَنَّا يَا أَسْعَدُ فَوَاللَّهِ لَا نَدَعُ هَذِهِ الْبَيْعَةَ أَبَدًا ، وَلَا نَسْلُبُهَا أَبَدًا قَالَ : فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ ، فَبَايَعْنَاهُ فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا ، وَشَرَطَ ، وَيُعْطِينَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْجَنَّةَ .
قُلْتُ : رَوَى أَصْحَابُ السُّنَنِ مِنْهُ طَرَفًا . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ وَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ : فَوَاللَّهِ لَا نَذَرُ هَذِهِ الْبَيْعَةَ وَلَا نَسْتَقِيلُهَا . وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: For ten years the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept going to the people at their lodging places at (the fairs of) Ukaz and Majannah, and at Mina during the Hajj season, saying: "Who will give me shelter? Who will help me, so that I may convey the message of my Lord? Paradise will be his." It reached the point that when a man set out from Yemen or from the Mudar tribe of such-and-such a place, the people of his tribe would go to him and say: "Beware of this young man of Quraysh, lest he put you to trial." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would walk among their lodging places, and they would keep pointing at the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with their fingers, until Allah Almighty sent us from Yathrib. We gave him shelter and affirmed him. A man from among us would go out, believe in him, and he would teach him the Qur'an; he would return to his family, and his family would also become Muslim because of his Islam, until in every quarter of the Ansar there were some Muslims who displayed their Islam. Then all of them consulted together and said: "How long will we leave the Messenger of Allah in this state, that he remains among the mountains of Makkah and lives in fear?" So seventy of us rode and came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the Hajj season. We agreed that we would meet in the valley of al-Aqabah. People began gathering there one by one and two by two until we had all gathered. We said: "O Messenger of Allah! On what shall we give you the pledge?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pledge to me that you will listen and obey in every state, in energy and in laziness; that you will spend in every state, in hardship and in ease; that you will enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil; that you will speak according to the command of Allah Almighty and not fear the blame of any blamer regarding Allah Almighty; and that you will help me, and when I come to you, you will protect me just as you protect yourselves and your families. Paradise will be yours." The narrator says: We got up, came to him and gave him the pledge. Sayyiduna As'ad bin Zurarah (may Allah be pleased with him), who was the youngest of them, got up and took hold of his hand and said: "Wait, O people of Yathrib! We have travelled to him only because we know that he is the Messenger of Allah. Taking him away today amounts to separating from all the Arabs; your best people will be killed, and swords will cut you. If you are a people who will be patient in such a situation, then your reward rests with Allah Almighty; and if you are a people who fear for yourselves, then state it! That will be more fitting for you in presenting your excuse before Allah Almighty." Those people said: "O As'ad! Move aside! By Allah! We will never abandon this pledge and will never give it up." So we got up and went towards the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and gave him the pledge. He (peace and blessings be upon him) took the pledge from us and laid down the condition, and in return for it Paradise would be granted to us. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: The compilers of the Sunan have recorded part of this narration.
Ahmad and al-Bazzar recorded it; he recorded these words in his narration: "By Allah! We will never abandon this pledge, and we will never take it back." The narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih.
