Narrated to us Abu al-Nu’man, who said: Narrated to us Abu Awana, from Ziyad ibn ‘Ilaqa, who said: “I heard Jarir ibn Abdullah saying, on the day when Al-Mughira ibn Shu’ba died, he stood up, praised and thanked Allah, and said, ‘Upon you is to fear Allah alone, with no partner for Him, and to maintain dignity and tranquility until your leader comes to you, and he has come to you now. Then he said, ‘Seek the pardon of your leader, for he used to love forgiveness.’ Then he said, ‘As for me, I came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said, “I pledge allegiance to you for Islam.” So he laid down conditions for me, and among them was to offer sincere advice to every Muslim. So, I pledged allegiance to him based on these conditions, and I swear by the Lord of this mosque, I am sincere to you.’ Then he sought forgiveness and sat down.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلاَقَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَرِيرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ يَوْمَ مَاتَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ قَامَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِاتِّقَاءِ اللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَالْوَقَارِ وَالسَّكِينَةِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكُمْ أَمِيرٌ، فَإِنَّمَا يَأْتِيكُمُ الآنَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ اسْتَعْفُوا لأَمِيرِكُمْ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ. ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَإِنِّي أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قُلْتُ أُبَايِعُكَ عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ. فَشَرَطَ عَلَىَّ وَالنُّصْحِ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ. فَبَايَعْتُهُ عَلَى هَذَا، وَرَبِّ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ إِنِّي لَنَاصِحٌ لَكُمْ. ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرَ وَنَزَلَ.
