حَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ قَالَ: بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ عَدَلْتُ إِلَى ظِلِّ شَجَرَةٍ، فَلَمَّا خَفَّ النَّاسُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «يَا ابْنَ الْأَكْوَعِ، أَلَا تُبَايِعُ؟» ، قُلْتُ: قَدْ بَايَعْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «وَأَيْضًا» ، قَالَ: فَبَايَعْتُهُ الثَّانِيَةَ، قَالَ يَزِيدُ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا مُسْلِمٍ، عَلَى أَيِّ شَيْءٍ تُبَايِعُونَ يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ قَالَ: عَلَى الْمَوْتِ
English translation
Salamah ibn al-Akwaʿ (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I swore allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ, then I moved to the shade of a tree. When the crowd around the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ﷺ thinned out, he said, “Ibn al-Akwaʿ, why do you not swear allegiance?” I said, “I have already sworn allegiance, Messenger of Allah.” He said, “Do it again.” So I swore allegiance a second time. [Yazīd ibn Abī ʿUbayd] said: I asked Salamah, “Abū Muslim, what did you give the pledge of allegiance for that day?” He said, “We gave the pledge of allegiance to death.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 282
