Sahih Muslim 1853 (Book 33, Hadith 96) #11906
Taking Oaths of Allegiance for Two Caliphs

SUMMARY: Oaths of allegiance should not be taken for two caliphs at the same time.

It has been narrated on the authority of Aba Sa'id al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah said: When oath of allegiance has been taken for two caliphs, kill the one for whom the oath was taken later.
وَحَدَّثَنِي وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي، نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا بُويِعَ لِخَلِيفَتَيْنِ فَاقْتُلُوا الآخَرَ مِنْهُمَا

QUICK LESSONS:
Remain loyal and faithful to your commitments and promises
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about taking oaths of allegiance to two caliphs at the same time, which is forbidden according to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ commanded that if a person has already taken an oath of allegiance to one caliph, they should not take an oath to another one. This hadith teaches us that we must remain loyal and faithful to our commitments and promises, and that we should not make multiple commitments or promises when it comes to matters such as this. We must also remember that loyalty and faithfulness are important values in Islam, as they help us build trust with others and maintain strong relationships with them.
