حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ , حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو يَعْنِي الرَّقِّيَّ , عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا جَبَلَةُ بْنُ سُحَيْمٍ , عَنْ أَبِي الْمُثَنَّى الْعَبْدِيِّ , قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ السَّدُوسِيَّ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْخَصَاصِيَّةِ , قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأُبَايِعَهُ , قَالَ : فَاشْتَرَطَ عَلَيَّ شَهَادَةَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ , وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ , وَأَنْ أُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةَ , وَأَنْ أُؤَدِّيَ الزَّكَاةَ , وَأَنْ أَحُجَّ حَجَّةَ الْإِسْلَامِ , وَأَنْ أَصُومَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ , وَأَنْ أُجَاهِدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ , فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , أَمَّا اثْنَتَانِ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أُطِيقُهُمَا الْجِهَادُ , وَالصَّدَقَةُ , فَإِنَّهُمْ زَعَمُوا أَنَّهُ مَنْ وَلَّى الدُّبُرَ فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ , فَأَخَافُ إِنْ حَضَرْتُ تِلْكَ , جَشِعَتْ نَفْسِي , وَكَرِهَتْ الْمَوْتَ , وَالصَّدَقَةُ , فَوَاللَّهِ مَا لِي إِلَّا غُنَيْمَةٌ وَعَشْرُ ذَوْدٍ , هُنَّ رَسَلُ أَهْلِي وَحَمُولَتُهُمْ , قَالَ : فَقَبَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ , ثُمَّ حَرَّكَ يَدَهُ , ثُمَّ قَالَ : " فَلَا جِهَادَ , وَلَا صَدَقَةَ , فيِمَ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِذًا ؟ " , قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , أَنَا أُبَايِعُكَ , قَالَ : فَبَايَعْتُ عَلَيْهِنَّ كُلِّهِنَّ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Basheer (may Allah be pleased with him) that I came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to pledge allegiance to Islam. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stated the conditions of allegiance before me, that is, to bear witness that there is no deity except Allah and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and Messenger, and that I establish prayer, pay zakat, perform the obligatory Hajj, fast in the month of Ramadan, and strive in the path of Allah (jihad). I said, O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, I do not have the strength for two things: one is jihad and the other is charity, because people say that whoever turns his back from the battlefield returns with the wrath of Allah. I fear that if I am present in a battle and my soul becomes afraid and I begin to dislike death (then Allah’s displeasure will be upon me). As for charity (zakat), by Allah, I have only a few goats and ten camels which are used by my family for riding and carrying loads. Upon this, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) withdrew his hand, and after a little while, he moved his hand and said, "Neither jihad nor charity? Then how will you enter Paradise?" I said, O Messenger of Allah! I pledge allegiance. Thus, I pledged allegiance on all these conditions.
