When it was the time of al-Harrah, someone came to him and said to him, "Ibn Hanzalah is taking the people's pledge to fight to the death." He said, "I will not pledge anyone to this after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."
لَمَّا كَانَ زَمَنَ الْحَرَّةِ، أَتَاهُ آتٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ: إِنَّ ابْنَ حَنْظَلَةَ يُبَايِعُ النَّاسَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، فَقَالَ: لاَ أُبَايِعُ عَلَى هَذَا أَحَدًا بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ.
[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.'"
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
