Sahih Muslim 1860a (Book 33, Hadith 118) #11928
The Pledge of Allegiance at Hudaibiya

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the pledge of allegiance made by Salama al-Akwa' to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) on the Day of Hudaibiya, which was to die fighting.

It has been narrated on the authority of Yazid b. Abu Ubaid (the freed slave of Salama b. al-Akwa') who said: 1 asked Salama as to what effect he had sworn fealty to the Messenger of Allah on the Day of Hudaibiya. He said: To the effect that we will die fighting.
وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ - عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي، عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِسَلَمَةَ عَلَى أَىِّ شَىْءٍ بَايَعْتُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ قَالَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ

EXPLANATIONS:
On the Day of Hudaibiya, a treaty was signed between Muslims and non-Muslims in 628 CE. During this treaty, Salama b. al-Akwa' swore an oath to Prophet Muhammad that he would fight until death if needed for his cause. This hadith is narrated by Yazid b. Abu Ubaid who was a freed slave of Salama b. al-Akwa'. This hadith teaches us that we should be willing to sacrifice our lives for our beliefs and causes if necessary and not be afraid or hesitant in doing so as it is an act of great courage and faithfulness towards Allah SWT's commands and teachings as mentioned in Quran 3:169 “Think not of those who are slain in Allah’s way as dead; nay they live finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord” .
