Volume 4, Book 52, Number 207:
Narrated Yazid bin Ubaid:
Salama said, "I gave the Pledge of allegiance (Al-Ridwan) to Allah's Apostle and then I moved to the
shade of a tree. When the number of people around the Prophet diminished, he said, 'O Ibn Al-Akwa
! Will you not give to me the pledge of Allegiance?' I replied, 'O Allah's Apostle! I have already given
to you the pledge of Allegiance.' He said, 'Do it again.' So I gave the pledge of allegiance for the
second time." I asked 'O Abu Muslim! For what did you give he pledge of Allegiance on that day?" He
replied, "We gave the pledge of Allegiance for death."
