Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39885 — Reports on the Night of Aqabah

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amr al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) promised to meet us at the foot of the pass on the Day of Adha, and we numbered seventy. (Sayyiduna Uqbah said: I was the youngest of them.) The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: "Keep your talk brief, for I fear the disbelievers of Quraysh for you." The narrator said: We said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Ask of us concerning your Lord, ask of us something concerning yourself and ask of us something concerning your companions, and also tell us what reward will be due (to us) from Allah and from you." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I ask of you concerning my Lord that you believe in Him and associate nothing with Him. I ask of you concerning myself that you obey me, and I will guide you to the path of right guidance. And I ask of you concerning myself and my companions that you share your wealth with us in sympathy, and that you protect us from whatever you protect yourselves from. When you do this, then Paradise will be due to you from Allah and from me." The narrator said: So we stretched out our hands and gave allegiance to him (peace and blessings be upon him).
