In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Muhammad and the Messenger of God
A summary of the Prophet’s biography
The Second Pledge of Aqaba
Jaber bin Abdullah Al-Ansari, may God be pleased with them, said
Then God sent us and ordered us
Seventy of us men gathered together
So we said: Until when did the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, vow?
He is expelled into the mountains of Mecca and is afraid
So we left until we came to him during the season
So we drove him away from the people of Aqaba
They narrated the details of this great pledge of allegiance
Which was the reason for migration to the city
Imam Ahmad in his Musnad
And Ibn Hibban in his Sahih with a good chain of transmission
On the authority of Ka'b Ibn Malik, may God be pleased with him, he said
We went out as pilgrims among our polytheist people
We prayed and understood
And with us is Al-Baraa Ibn Maarour
Our elder and master
When we headed for our journey and left the city
He said
So we went out to ask about the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
And we didn't know him
We haven't seen him before
We met a man from the people of Mecca
So we asked him about the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He said: Do you know him?
He said we said no
He said: Do you know Al-Abbas Ibn Abdul Muttalib, his uncle?
We said yes
He said: We knew Al-Abbas
He was still offering us a merchant
He said: When you enter the mosque
He is the man sitting with Abbas
So we entered the mosque
Then Abbas was sitting
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was sitting with him
So we greeted him and then sat down to him
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to Abbas
Do you know these two men, Abu Al-Fadl?
He said yes
This is Al-Baraa Ibn Maarour
The master of his people
This is Ka'b Ibn Malik
Bean casi said: I will never forget what the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
The poet
He said yes
Ka'b, may God be pleased with him, said
So the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, promised us Aqaba in the middle of the days of Tashreeq
When we finished Hajj
It was the night that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, promised us
And with us was Abdullah bin Omar bin Haram, Abu Jaber, one of our masters, and we used to keep our affairs secret from the polytheists among our people.
So we spoke to him and said to him: O Abu Jaber, you are one of our masters, and an honorable one among our nobles, and we want you, as you are, to be wood for the fire tomorrow.
Then I invited him to Islam, and told him of the appointment of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, so he converted to Islam and went to Aqaba with us, and he was a captain.
He said, “So we slept that night with our people in our camps, until a third of the night had passed, and we left our camps to meet the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.”
We sneaked in, concealing the infiltration of the train, until we gathered in the people at Aqaba, and we were seventy men, and with us were two of their wives.
Nusaybah bint Ka'b, the mother of Amara, one of the women of Banu Mazen bin Al-Najjar, and Asma bint Omar bin Adi bin Thabit, one of the women of Banu Salamah, and she is the mother of Mani'.
He said, “So we gathered with the people, waiting for the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, until he came to us, and with him on that day was his uncle, Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib, who at that time followed the religion of his people.”
However, he wanted to attend to his nephew's affairs and trust him
When we sat down, Al-Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib was the first to speak, and he said:
O people of the Khazraj, the Arabs used to call this neighborhood of the Ansar Khazraj, its middle and its Khazraj.
Muhammad is one of us, as you have learned, and we have protected him from our people who are like our opinion of him, and he is in honor among his people and protected in his country.
So we said, “We have heard what you said, so speak, O Messenger of God, and take for yourself and your Lord what you like.”
Then the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, spoke, and he recited and called to God Almighty and desired Islam.
Then he said
I pledge allegiance to you to prevent me from doing what you prevent your women and children from doing
Al-Baraa bin Ma’rur, may God be pleased with him, took him by the hand and said
Yes, by the One who sent you with the truth, we will protect you from what we prevent ourselves from doing
So, O Messenger of God, we pledged allegiance, for we are the people of wars and the people of the circle, and we inherited it, generation after generation.
And in the narration of Jabir, may God be pleased with him, in the Musnad of Imam Ahmad and Sahih Ibn Hibban with a good chain of transmission
Jaber, may God be pleased with him, said, “So we left until we came to him during the season.”
So we made an appointment with him in the village of Aqaba, and his uncle Abbas said
My nephew
I do not know who these people are who came to you
I am familiar with the people of Yathrib
So we gathered with him, one man and two men
When Abbas looked at our faces, he said:
These are people I don't know
These are juveniles
So we said, O Messenger of God
To whomever pledged allegiance to you
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
You pledge allegiance to me on listening and obedience, while being active and lazy
And at the expense of hardship and ease
And to enjoin good and forbid evil
And you must say about God
Do not let the blame of the blamer take you
And you must help me when I come to Yathrib
So you prevent me from what you prevent yourself, your wives, and your children from
And heaven be yours
Jaber, may God be pleased with him, said
So we pledged allegiance to him
Imam Ahmad narrated it in his Musnad with a good chain of transmission
On the authority of Jabir, may God be pleased with him, he said
Al-Abbas was holding the hand of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
And the Messenger of God trusts us
When we finished
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
I took and gave
Al-Hakim narrated in Al-Mustadrak with a chain of narrators whose narrators are trustworthy
On the authority of Ibn Shihab Al-Zuhri, he said:
It was between the night of Aqaba and the emigration of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
Three months or so
The Ansar pledged allegiance to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
The night of Aqaba in Dhu al-Hijjah
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, presented the city
In the month of Rabi` al-Awwal
