Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1126 — he said: I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
وَعَنْ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ جَبَلَةَ بْنِ سُحَيْمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُثَنَّى الْعَبْدِيِّ . عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ الْخَصَاصِيَّةِ السَّدُوسِيِّ قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- لِأُبَايِعَهُ ، فَاشْتَرَطَ عَلَيَّ : تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ، وَتُصَلِّي الْخَمْسَ ، وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ ، وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ ، وَتَحُجُّ الْبَيْتَ ، وَتُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ I " . فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَمَّا اثْنَتَانِ فَلَا أُطِيقُهُمَا : فَوَاللهِ مَا لِي إِلَّا عَشْرُ ذَوْدٍ ، رَسَلُ أَهْلِي وَحَمُولَتُهُمْ ، وَأَمَّا الْجِهَادُ ، فَيَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ وَلَّى بَاءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِنَ اللهِ ، فَأَخَافُ إِذَا حَضَرَ قِتَالٌ جَشِعَتْ نَفْسِي ، وَكَرِهْتُ الْمَوْتَ . فَقَبَضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- يَدَهُ ، ثُمَّ حَرَّكَهَا ، ثُمَّ ، قَالَ : I " لَا صَدَقَةَ وَلَا جِهَادَ ، فَبِمَ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ ؟ I " فَبَايَعْتُهُ عَلَيْهِنَّ كُلِّهِنَّ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bashir bin al-Khasasiyah al-Sadusi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to pledge allegiance to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) set these conditions for me: that you bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship but Allah and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and Messenger, that you pray the five (daily) prayers, fast Ramadan, pay the zakah, perform Hajj to the House (of Allah), and strive (jihad) in the way of Allah."
I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), there are two of these that I do not find the strength for. By Allah, I have only ten she-camels, which are the only means of my family's food (milk) and of carrying their loads. And as for jihad, people claim that whoever turns his back (and flees from the battlefield) returns with the wrath of Allah, and I fear that when the fighting comes, my soul will show cowardice and I will dislike death."
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) closed his blessed hand, then moved it, and said: "No charity (zakah) and no jihad: then by what deed will you enter Paradise?"
(Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) said:) Then I pledged allegiance to him (peace and blessings be upon him) on all of these conditions.
