It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the pledge of Aqabah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to them in such a state that Sayyiduna Abbas was holding his hand. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have taken the pledge and given the promise. I asked Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): Did you pledge allegiance to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for death on that day? He said: No, rather it was on the condition that we would not flee from the battlefield. I asked Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): What happened on the occasion of the pledge of Ridwan? He said: I was holding the hand of Sayyiduna Umar and pledged allegiance to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I asked him: How many of you were there? He said: Fourteen hundred people. All except Jad bin Qais pledged allegiance to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); he had hidden under a camel. On that day, we sacrificed seventy camels, one camel for every seven men.
