Sahih al-Bukhari 58

Hadith text

Narrated Ziyad bin'Ilaqa: I heard Jarir bin 'Abdullah (Praising Allah). On the day when Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba died, he (Jarir) got up (on the pulpit) and thanked and praised Allah and said, "Be afraid of Allah alone Who has none along with Him to be worshipped.(You should) be calm and quiet till the (new) chief comes to you and he will come to you soon. Ask Allah's forgiveness for your (late) chief because he himself loved to forgive others." Jarir added, "Amma badu (now then), I went to the Prophet and said, 'I give my pledge of allegiance to you for Islam." The Prophet (ﷺ) conditioned (my pledge) for me to be sincere and true to every Muslim so I gave my pledge to him for this. By the Lord of this mosque! I am sincere and true to you (Muslims). Then Jarir asked for Allah's forgiveness and came down (from the pulpit)

Ziyad bin Ilaqa bataate hain ke maine Jarir bin Abdullah (رضی اللہ عنہ) ko suna — jis din Mughira bin Shu'ba ka intiqal hua, woh (mimbar par) khade hue, Allah ki hamd-o-sana ki aur farmaya: "Sirf Allah se daro jiske siwa koi mabood nahi. Sukoon se raho yahan tak ke naya ameer aa jaye, woh jald aayega. Apne (marhoom) ameer ke liye Allah se maafi maango kyunke woh khud maaf karna pasand karte the." Phir Jarir ne kaha: "Amma ba'd, main Nabi (ﷺ) ke paas gaya aur kaha: 'Main aapse Islam par bai'at karta hoon.' Nabi ne meri bai'at is shart par li ke main har Musalman ka khair-khwaah rahunga, to maine isi par bai'at ki. Is masjid ke Rab ki qasam, main tumhara khair-khwaah hoon." Phir Jarir ne Allah se maafi maangi aur (mimbar se) utar gaye.
