[Machine] "When it was the time of the caliphate, a man came to him and said, 'This is the son of Hanthala.' And A'ffan once said, 'This is the son of Hanthala who pledges allegiance to the people.' He asked him, 'What do you pledge them on?' He said, 'On death.' He said, 'I do not pledge allegiance to anyone after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on this matter.'"  

أحمد:١٦٤٧١حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ

لَمَّا كَانَ زَمَنُ الْحَرَّةِ أَتَاهُ آتٍ فَقَالَ هَذَا ابْنُ حَنْظَلَةَ وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ مَرَّةً هَذَاكَ ابْنُ حَنْظَلَةَ يُبَايِعُ النَّاسَ قَالَ عَلَى أَيِّ شَيْءٍ يُبَايِعُهُمْ؟ قَالَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ قَالَ لَا أُبَايِعُ عَلَى هَذَا أَحَدًا بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ
