Sahih Muslim 1856c (Book 33, Hadith 106) #11916
The Oath of Fealty at Hudaibiya

SUMMARY: On the Day of Hudaibiya, fourteen hundred people swore fealty to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) with Umar holding his hand while he was sitting under a samura tree. Jadd b. Qais al-Ansari hid himself under the belly of his camel.

It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Zubair who heard Jabir being questioned as to how many people were there on the Day of Hudaibiya. He replied: We were fourteen hundred. We swore fealty to him, and Umar was holding his hand while he was sitting under the tree (to administer the oath). The tree was a samura (a wild tree found in deserts). All of as took the oath of fealty at his hands except Jadd b. Qais al-Ansari who hid himself under the belly of his camel.
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، سَمِعَ جَابِرًا، يُسْأَلُ كَمْ كَانُوا يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ قَالَ كُنَّا أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ مِائَةً فَبَايَعْنَاهُ وَعُمَرُ آخِذٌ بِيَدِهِ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ وَهِيَ سَمُرَةٌ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ غَيْرَ جَدِّ ابْنِ قَيْسٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ اخْتَبَأَ تَحْتَ بَطْنِ بَعِيرِهِ.

On the Day of Hudaibiya, fourteen hundred people gathered around Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Umar was holding his hand while he was sitting under a samura tree, which is a wild tree found in deserts. All of them took an oath known as bay'ah or fealty at his hands except for Jadd b. Qais al-Ansari who hid himself under the belly of his camel out of fear and shame for not taking part in this important event.
