حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَبُو الْيَمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَفَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ
يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، إِنَّكَ لَمْ تَكُنْ مَعَنَا إِذْ بَايَعْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، إِنَّا بَايَعْنَاهُ عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِي النَّشَاطِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَعَلَى النَّفَقَةِ فِي الْيُسْرِ وَالْعُسْرِ، وَعَلَى الْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ، وَعَلَى أَنْ نَقُولَ فِي اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَلَا نَخَافَ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ فِيهِ، وَعَلَى أَنْ نَنْصُرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ إِذَا قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا يَثْرِبَ، فَنَمْنَعَهُ مِمَّا نَمْنَعُ مِنْهُ أَنْفُسَنَا وَأَزْوَاجَنَا وَأَبْنَاءَنَا، وَلَنَا الْجَنَّةُ، فَهَذِهِ بَيْعَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الَّتِي بَايَعْنَا عَلَيْهَا، فَمَنْ نَكَثَ فَإِنَّمَا يَنْكُثُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، وَمَنْ أَوْفَى بِمَا بَايَعَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، وَفَّى اللهُ [تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى] لَهُ بِمَا بَايَعَ عَلَيْهِ نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ. فَكَتَبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ: أَنَّ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ قَدْ أَفْسَدَ عَلَيَّ الشَّامَ وَأَهْلَهُ، فَإِمَّا تَكُفُّ إِلَيْكَ عُبَادَةَ، وَإِمَّا أُخَلِّي بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الشَّامِ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ: أَنْ رَحِّلْ عُبَادَةَ حَتَّى تُرْجِعَهُ إِلَى دَارِهِ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَبَعَثَ بِعُبَادَةَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ فِي الدَّارِ وَلَيْسَ فِي الدَّارِ غَيْرُ رَجُلٍ مِنَ السَّابِقِينَ - أَوْ: مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ - قَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْقَوْمَ فَلَمْ يَفْجَأْ عُثْمَانُ إِلَّا وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ فِي جَانْبِ الدَّارِ، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ، مَا لَنَا وَلَكَ؟ فَقَامَ عُبَادَةُ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيِ النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ [ ﷺ ] أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِنَّهُ سَيَلِي أُمُورَكُمْ بَعْدِي رِجَالٌ يُعَرِّفُونَكُمْ مَا تُنْكِرُونَ، وَيُنْكِرُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَا تَعْرِفُونَ، فَلَا طَاعَةَ لِمَنْ عَصَى اللهَ [تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى]، فَلَا تَعْتَلُّوا بِرَبِّكُمْ

✧ Al-Hadith (the narrator of the Hadith) reported that 'Ubadah said to Abu Hurayrah, "O Abu Hurayrah, you were not with us when we pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We pledged allegiance to him to hear and obey, whether it is easy or difficult, to spend in ease and hardship, to command what is good and forbid what is evil, to speak about Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, without fearing the blame of anyone, and to support the Prophet ﷺ when he came to Madinah, withholding from him what we withhold from ourselves, our wives, and children, and in return, Paradise is promised to us. This is the pledge of allegiance that we pledged to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Whoever breaks it, breaks it against himself, and whoever fulfills what he pledged to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fulfills it to Allah and his Prophet ﷺ." Then Muawiyah wrote to 'Uthman ibn 'Affan, informing him that 'Ubadah ibn As-Samit has disrupted the people and their belongings in Ash-Sham (Syria). He then said to 'Uthman, "Either return 'Ubadah to you, or I will take action between him and Ash-Sham." So 'Uthman wrote to 'Ubadah, instructing him to return to Madinah. He sent 'Ubadah until he reached Madinah. He entered the house of 'Uthman, and there was no one in the house except a man from the Sahabah who had reached the people. 'Uthman was sitting in a corner of the house. He turned towards 'Ubadah and said, "O 'Ubadah ibn As-Samit, what is the matter between us and you?" 'Ubadah stood among the people and said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Al-Qasim Muhammad ﷺ, saying, 'After me there will be leaders who will order you to do what you know, but you will deny it, and they will forbid you from what you know, but you will acknowledge it. Therefore, do not obey those who disobey Allah, and do not dispute about your Lord."
