"We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said: 'Will you not pledge to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' And he repeated it three times. So we stretched forth our hands to give our pledge. We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we are willing to give you our pledge, but on what?' He said: 'That you will worship Allah and not associate anything with him, and (offer) the five daily prayers.' And he said, very quietly: 'And you will not ask the people for anything.'"  

كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَلاَ تُبَايِعُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَدَّدَهَا ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَقَدَّمْنَا أَيْدِيَنَا فَبَايَعْنَاهُ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ بَايَعْنَاكَ فَعَلاَمَ قَالَ عَلَى أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلاَ تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَالصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ وَأَسَرَّ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَّةً أَنْ لاَ تَسْأَلُوا النَّاسَ شَيْئًا  

“We were with the Prophet ﷺ – seven or eight or nine of us – and he said: ‘Will you not give pledge to the Messenger of Allah?’ So we stretched forth our hands and someone said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, we have already given you our pledge. On what basis shall we give this pledge?’ He said: ‘(On the basis that) you will worship Allah and not associate anything with Him, you will establish the five daily prayers, you will listen and obey’ – then he spoke some words under his breath – ‘and you will not ask the people for anything.’ He said: ‘I saw some of that group. If he dropped his whip he would not ask anyone to pick it up for him.’”  

كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سَبْعَةً أَوْ ثَمَانِيَةً أَوْ تِسْعَةً فَقَالَ أَلاَ تُبَايِعُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَبَسَطْنَا أَيْدِيَنَا فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا قَدْ بَايَعْنَاكَ فَعَلاَمَ نُبَايِعُكَ فَقَالَ أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلاَ تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُوا الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ وَتَسْمَعُوا وَتُطِيعُوا وَأَسَرَّ كَلِمَةً خُفْيَةً وَلاَ تَسْأَلُوا النَّاسَ شَيْئًا قَالَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ بَعْضَ أُولَئِكَ النَّفَرِ يَسْقُطُ سَوْطُهُ فَلاَ يَسْأَلُ أَحَدًا يُنَاوِلُهُ إِيَّاهُ  

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , there were nine or eight or seven of us. He said, "Do you not give allegiance to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ?" He repeated it three times. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have already given you allegiance, so why should we give you allegiance again?" He said, "To worship Allah alone and not associate anything with Him, to establish the five daily prayers, and to keep confidential matters secret without asking people about them."  

كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تِسْعَةٌ أَوْ ثَمَانِيَةٌ أَوْ سَبْعَةٌ فَقَالَ «أَلَا تُبَايِعُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ» فَرَدَّدَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ بَايَعْنَاكَ فَعَلَامَ نُبَايِعُكَ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا اللهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَالصَّلواتُ الْخَمْسُ وَأَسَرَّ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَّةً لَا تَسْأَلُونَ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا»  

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and he said, "Will you not pledge allegiance?" So we responded three times and we stretched out our hands and pledged allegiance to him. Then we said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have already pledged allegiance to you, so why is that?" He said, "To worship Allah alone and not associate anything with Him, to establish the five daily prayers, and to keep secret a matter which should not be disclosed to people." Abu Abdullah al-Khawlani, whose name is A'iz Ibn Abdullah, and Abu Muslim al-Khawlani, whose name is Abdullah Ibn Thawb, narrated this to us.  

كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَلَا تُبَايِعُونَ» فَرَدَّهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَقَدَّمْنَا أَيْدِينَا فَبَايَعْنَاهُ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ بَايَعْنَاكَ فَعَلَامَ؟ قَالَ عَلَى أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا اللهَ لَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَالصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ وَأَسَرَّ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَّةً لَا تَسْأَلُوا النَّاسَ شَيْئًا قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ اسْمُهُ عَائِذُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ وأبو مسلم الخولاني اسمه عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ ثَوْبٍ  

"عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الأَشْجَعِىِّ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ رسُولِ الله ﷺ تِسْعَةً أَوَ ثَمَانِيَةً أو سَبْعَةً فَقَالَ: أَلَا تُبَايِعُونَ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ ؟ فَرَدَّدَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَقَدَّمْنَا أَيْدِيَنَا فَبَايَعْنَا رَسُولَ الله ﷺ فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ الله: قَدْ بَايَعْنَاكَ عَلَى أَىِّ شَىْءٍ نُبَايِعُكَ؟ قَالَ: عَلَى أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا الله وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا، وَالصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْس واسه كَلِمَةً خَفَيَّةً: أَن لَا تَسْأَلُوا النَّاسَ شَيْئًا قَالَ: فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ بَعْضَ أُولَئِكَ النَّفَرِ يَسْقُطُ سَوْطُهُ فَمَا يَقُولُ لأَحَدٍ يُنَاوِلُهُ إِيَّاهُ".
