كتاب البيعةThe Oath of Allegiance
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، قَالَ كُنَّا إِذَا بَايَعْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ يَقُولُ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ " .
Malik related to me from Abdullah ibn Dinar that Abdullah ibn
Umar said, "When we took an oath of allegiance with him to hear and
obey, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said to us, 'In what you are able.' "
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ أُمَيْمَةَ بِنْتِ رُقَيْقَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي نِسْوَةٍ بَايَعْنَهُ عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ فَقُلْنَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نُبَايِعُكَ عَلَى أَنْ لاَ نُشْرِكَ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَلاَ نَسْرِقَ وَلاَ نَزْنِيَ وَلاَ نَقْتُلَ أَوْلاَدَنَا وَلاَ نَأْتِيَ بِبُهْتَانٍ نَفْتَرِيهِ بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا وَأَرْجُلِنَا وَلاَ نَعْصِيَكَ فِي مَعْرُوفٍ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُنَّ وَأَطَقْتُنَّ " . قَالَتْ فَقُلْنَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَرْحَمُ بِنَا مِنْ أَنْفُسِنَا هَلُمَّ نُبَايِعْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنِّي لاَ أُصَافِحُ النِّسَاءَ إِنَّمَا قَوْلِي لِمِائَةِ امْرَأَةٍ كَقَوْلِي لاِمْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ أَوْ مِثْلِ قَوْلِي لاِمْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ " .
Malik related to me from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir that Umayma
bint Ruqayqa said, "I went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, with the women who took an oath of allegiance
with him in Islam. They said, 'Messenger of Allah! We take a pledge
with you not to associate anything with Allah, not to steal, not to
commit adultery, not to kill our children, nor to produce any lie that
we have devised between our hands and feet, and not to disobey you in
what is known.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, 'In what you can do and are able.' "
Umayma
continued, "They said, 'Allah and His Messenger are more merciful to
us than ourselves. Come, let us give our hands to you, Messenger of
Allah!' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, 'I do not shake hands with women. My word to a hundred
women is like my word to one woman.' "
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، كَتَبَ إِلَى عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ يُبَايِعُهُ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ . أَمَّا بَعْدُ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَلاَمٌ عَلَيْكَ فَإِنِّي أَحْمَدُ إِلَيْكَ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ وَأُقِرُّ لَكَ بِالسَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ عَلَى سُنَّةِ اللَّهِ وَسُنَّةِ رَسُولِهِ فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُ .
Malik related to me from Abdullah ibn Dinar that Abdullah ibn
Umar wrote to Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, making an oath of allegiance.
He wrote, "In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate. To
the slave of Allah, Abd al-Malik, the amir al-muminin, Peace be upon
you. I praise Allah to you. There is no god but Him. I acknowledge
your right to my hearing and my obedience according to the sunna of
Allah and the sunna of His Prophet, in what I am able."
