Hadith #125
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ عَنْ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ عِلَاقَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَرِيرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَامَ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ تُوُفِّيَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ فَقَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِاتِّقَاءِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَالْوَقَارِ وَالسَّكِينَةِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكُمْ أَمِيرٌ فَإِنَّمَا يَأْتِ
يكُمْ الْآنَ ثُمَّ قَالَ اشْفَعُوا لِأَمِيرِكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ وَقَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ أُبَايِعُكَ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَشْتَرِطُ عَلَى النُّصْحِ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ فَبَايَعْتُهُ عَلَى هَذَا وَرَبِّ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ إِنِّي لَكُمْ لَنَاصِحٌ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرَ وَنَزَلَ

English Translation
Jarīr ibn ʿAbd Allāh narrated: When al-Mughīrah ibn Shuʿbah died, Jarīr stood up, praised Allah and glorified Him, then said, 'Beware of division and discord, for yesterday your leader was buried.' Then he said, 'Intercede for your leader, for indeed he used to love pardoning.' He continued, 'As for what follows: I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "I pledge allegiance to you upon Islam." the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "And I stipulate sincerity toward every Muslim." So I pledged allegiance to him upon this. By the Lord of this mosque, I am indeed sincere to all of you.' Then he sought forgiveness and descended.
