When we reached (Hudaibiya) in the next year (of the treaty of Hudaibiya), not even two men
amongst us agreed unanimously as to which was the tree under which we had given the pledge of
allegiance, and that was out of Allah's Mercy. (The sub narrator asked Naf'i, "For what did the Prophet (ﷺ)
take their pledge of allegiance, was it for death?" Naf'i replied "No, but he took their pledge of
allegiance for patience.")

Salama said, "I gave the Pledge of allegiance (Al-Ridwan) to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and then I moved to the
shade of a tree. When the number of people around the Prophet (ﷺ) diminished, he said, 'O Ibn Al-Akwa`
! Will you not give to me the pledge of Allegiance?' I replied, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have already given
to you the pledge of Allegiance.' He said, 'Do it again.' So I gave the pledge of allegiance for the
second time." I asked 'O Abu Muslim! For what did you give he pledge of Allegiance on that day?"
He replied, "We gave the pledge of Allegiance for death."
