Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us on the occasion of the Battle of Hudaybiyyah: "You are the best among all the people of the earth." Our number at that time was fourteen hundred. If I had eyesight today, I would show you the place of that tree (where the pledge of Ridwan took place).

Hazrat Musayyib bin Hazn (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I had seen that tree, but later when I came again, I could not recognize it.

Yazid bin Abi Ubaid narrated: I asked Salama bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him),“On what did you people pledge allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) at the time of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah?”He replied,“On death.”

Hazrat Abdullah bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that during the time of the battle of Harrah, a person came to him and said that Abdullah bin Hanzalah is taking an oath of allegiance (bay'ah) from the people unto death (against Yazid). So he said, "After the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I will not pledge allegiance unto death to anyone."

Hazrat Salamah bin Al-Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) went to Hajjaj. So he (Hajjaj) said,“O son of Al-Akwa’! Have you started living in the village? Have you turned back on your heels?”He replied,“No, rather the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had given me permission to live in the wilderness.”

Abu Uthman Nahdi and from him Mujashi' bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I took (my brother Abu Ma'bad, may Allah be pleased with him) to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to pledge allegiance to him for migration. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said that the reward for migration has ended along with those who migrated. However, I take his pledge for Islam and Jihad. Abu Uthman said that then I met Abu Ma'bad (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him about this, so he said that Mujashi' (may Allah be pleased with him) has narrated correctly.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said on the day of the conquest of Makkah: "Now migration (from Makkah to Madinah) is no longer required, but good intention and jihad remain. Therefore, when you are called for jihad, then go forth immediately."

Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a Bedouin asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about migration (that is, whether he should be permitted to migrate to Madinah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Alas! Its status is indeed great. Do you have some camels for which you pay zakat? He said: Yes! Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then what is there (to worry about)? Keep performing deeds (wherever you are), even across the seas (in whichever country you reside), Allah will not diminish the reward of any of your deeds.

The purified wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), narrated that when believing women migrated and came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he would test them, because of Allah Almighty’s statement:“O you who have believed, when believing women come to you as emigrants, test them.”Until the end of the verse. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that then, among those (migrating) believing women, whoever acknowledged this condition was considered to have passed the test. Thus, when those women would acknowledge it with their tongues, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would say to them,“Go, I have taken the pledge from you.”Never! By Allah! The hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) never touched the hand of any woman (while taking the pledge). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would take the pledge from them only verbally. By Allah! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took from the women only those pledges which Allah had commanded him to take. After taking the pledge, he would say to them,“I have taken the pledge from you.”He would say this only verbally,“I have taken the pledge from you.”

Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that when we pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to listen and obey, he would say to us: "As much as you are able."
