Home Hadith Hadith 2842
My brother and I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and I requested him to take the pledge
of allegiance from us for migration. He said, "Migration has passed away with its people." I asked,
"For what will you take the pledge of allegiance from us then?" He said, "I will take (the pledge) for
Islam and Jihad."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 173

On the day (of the battle) of the Trench, the Ansar were saying, "We are those who have sworn
allegiance to Muhammad for Jihaid (for ever) as long as we live." The Prophet (ﷺ) replied to them, "O
Allah! There is no life except the life of the Hereafter. So honor the Ansar and emigrants with Your
Generosity."

Today a man came to me and asked me a question which I did not know how to answer. He said, "Tell
me, if a wealthy active man, well-equipped with arms, goes out on military expeditions with our
chiefs, and orders us to do such things as we cannot do (should we obey him?)" I replied, "By Allah, I
do not know what to reply you, except that we, were in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) and he used to
order us to do a thing once only till we finished it. And no doubt, everyone among you will remain in
a good state as long as he obeys Allah. If one is in doubt as to the legality of something, he should ask
somebody who would satisfy him, but soon will come a time when you will not find such a man. By
Him, except Whom none has the right to be worshipped. I see that the example of what has passed of
this life (to what remains thereof) is like a pond whose fresh water has been used up and nothing
remains but muddy water."
