حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ : " لَمْ نُبَايِعْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ ، إِنَّمَا بَايَعْنَاهُ عَلَى أَنْ لَا نَفِرَّ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَمَعْنَى كِلَا الْحَدِيثَيْنِ صَحِيحٌ : قَدْ بَايَعَهُ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ ، وَإِنَّمَا قَالُوا : لَا نَزَالُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ حَتَّى نُقْتَلَ ، وَبَايَعَهُ آخَرُونَ ، فَقَالُوا : لَا نَفِرُّ .
Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We did not pledge allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) for death; rather, we pledged allegiance to you that we would not flee (even if its outcome would eventually be death).

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.
