Musnad Ahmad 21952

Translation

✧ I came to the Prophet ﷺ to pledge allegiance to him. He said: “He stipulated upon me the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, that I establish the prayer, that I pay the zakah, that I perform the Hajj of Islam, that I fast the month of Ramadan, and that I strive in the path of Allah.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah, as for two of them, by Allah, I cannot bear them: jihad and charity (sadaqah). For they claim that whoever turns his back has incurred wrath from Allah, and I fear that if I am present at that, my soul will become greedy and I will hate death. As for charity, by Allah, I have nothing but a small flock and ten she-camels; they are the milk supply of my family and their transport.” He said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ withdrew his hand, then moved his hand, then said: ‘Then no jihad and no charity—how will you enter Paradise then?’” He said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I pledge allegiance to you.’” He said: “So I pledged allegiance to him upon all of them.”
