[Machine] "Oh Abu Sa'id, did I not inform you that you pledged allegiance to two leaders before people gathered around one leader? He said, "Yes, I pledged allegiance to Ibn Zubayr, then the people of Sham (Syria) brought me to Hubaysh ibn Dalaajah, so I pledged allegiance to him." Ibn Umar said, "I feared that you pledged allegiance twice." Hamad added with his voice, "Abu Sa'id, O Abu Abdur-Rahman, did you not hear that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Whoever is able to not sleep, wake up in the morning, and go to bed in the evening without being under the authority of an Amir?' He said, "Yes, but I hate to pledge allegiance to two leaders before people gather around one leader."  

يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ أَلَمْ أُخْبَرْ أَنَّكَ بَايَعْتَ أَمِيرَيْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَجْتَمِعَ النَّاسُ عَلَى أَمِيرٍ وَاحِدٍ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ بَايَعْتُ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ فَجَاءَ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ فَسَاقُونِيإِلَى حُبَيْشِ بْنِ دَلَجَةَ فَبَايَعْتُهُ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِيَّاهَا كُنْتُ أَخَافُ إِيَّاهَا كُنْتُ أَخَافُ وَمَدَّ بِهَا حَمَّادٌ صَوْتَهُ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ لَا يَنَامَ نَوْمًا وَلَا يُصْبِحَ صَبَاحًا وَلَا يُمْسِيَ مَسَاءً إِلَّا وَعَلَيْهِ أَمِيرٌ ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلَكِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُبَايِعَ أَمِيرَيْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَجْتَمِعَ النَّاسُ عَلَى أَمِيرٍ وَاحِدٍ
