Chapter 37 · The Book of Governmentوحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، قَالَ: لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي يَوْمَ الشَّجَرَةِ، وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُبَايِعُ النَّاسَ، وَأَنَا رَافِعٌ غُصْنًا مِنْ أَغْصَانِهَا عَنْ رَأْسِهِ، وَنَحْنُ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ مِائَةً، قَالَ: «لَمْ نُبَايِعْهُ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، وَلَكِنْ بَايَعْنَاهُ عَلَى أَنْ لَا نَفِرَّ».

I remember being present on the Day of the Tree, and the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was taking the oath of the people and I was holding a twig of the tree over his head. We were fourteen hundred (in number). We did not take oath to the death, but to the effect that we would not run away from the battlefield.
