I came to the Prophet ﷺ to pledge allegiance to him. He stipulated upon me that I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, that I establish the prayer, pay the zakat, perform the obligatory pilgrimage, fast the month of Ramadan, and strive in the path of Allah.I said, "Messenger of Allah, as for two of these, by Allah, I cannot bear them. Striving in battle and giving charity. People claim that whoever turns his back in flight has incurred the wrath of Allah, so I fear that if I face battle my soul will cling to life and I will hate death. As for charity, by Allah, I own nothing but a small flock of sheep and ten camels which provide my family with milk and serve as their means of transport."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ closed his hand and then shook it, then said, "No striving and no charity? Then how will you enter Paradise?"I said, "Messenger of Allah, I will pledge allegiance to you."So I pledged allegiance to him on all of them.
حدثنا زكريا بن عدي حدثنا عبيد الله بن عمرو يعني الرقي عن زيد بن أبي أنيسة حدثنا جبلة بن سحيم عن أبي المثنى العبدي قال
أتيت النبي ﷺ لأبايعه قال فاشترط علي شهادة أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدا عبده ورسوله وأن أقيم الصلاة وأن أؤدي الزكاة وأن أحج حجة الإسلام وأن أصوم شهر رمضان وأن أجاهد في سبيل الله فقلت يا رسول الله أما اثنتان فوالله ما أطيقهما الجهاد والصدقة فإنهم زعموا أنه من ولى الدبر فقد باء بغضب من الله فأخاف إن حضرت تلك جشعت نفسي وكرهت الموت والصدقة فوالله ما لي إلا غنيمة وعشر ذود هن رسل أهلي وحمولتهم قال فقبض رسول الله ﷺ يده ثم حرك يده ثم قال فلا جهاد ولا صدقة فلم تدخل الجنة إذا قال قلت يا رسول الله أنا أبايعك قال فبايعت عليهن كلهن
Its isnad is sahih. Jabala bin Suhaym is trustworthy, one of the Followers whom they praised. Likewise Abul-Muthanna Abdi, whose name is Muslim bin Afaza Abdi Kufi, was not criticized by Abu Hatim, and Ibn Hibban deemed him trustworthy. This hadith was narrated solely by Ahmad, and it has already appeared with a considerably different wording at 20425.
