Hadith 1312

1312 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ: «لَمْ نُبَايِعْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَي الْمَوْتِ، وَلَكِنْ بَايَعْنَاهُ عَلَي أَنْ لَا نَفِرَّ»
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We did not pledge allegiance to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for death on his blessed hand; we pledged that we would not flee.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
The meaning of pledging allegiance unto death is also this: that we will remain steadfast and will not flee, even if circumstances of death arise. The intent of Hazrat Jabir radi Allahu anhu is that, at the time of pledging allegiance, we did not say, "even if we die." We only said that we will not flee. However, in meaning and outcome, there is no difference. Some people have also used the word "death," saying that we will not flee, even if death comes, as is explicitly stated in the following narration.
