Sahih al-Bukhari 4170 (Book 64, Hadith 212) #3987
Remembering the Pledge of Allegiance Under a Tree

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Al-Musaiyab's meeting with Al-Bara bin 'Azib and his recollection of the time they gave the pledge of allegiance to Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) under a tree.

Narrated Al-Musaiyab: I met Al-Bara bin 'Azib and said (to him)".May you live prosperously! You enjoyed the company of the Prophet and gave him the Pledge of allegiance (of Al-Hudaibiya) under the Tree". On that, Al- Bara' said, "O my nephew! You do not know what we have done after him (ie his death).
حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِشْكَابٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ لَقِيتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ فَقُلْتُ طُوبَى لَكَ صَحِبْتَ النَّبِيَّ وَبَايَعْتَهُ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي إِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثْنَا بَعْدَهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about two companions, Al-Musaiyab and Al-Bara bin 'Azib, who met each other after the death of Prophet Muhammad. They recalled their experience when they gave their pledge of allegiance to him under a tree. This event was known as the Pledge of Hudaibiya which was an agreement between Muslims and non Muslims that allowed them to practice their religion freely without any fear or oppression. It also showed how much respect people had for Prophet Muhammad as they were willing to make such an important agreement with him even though he was not in power at that time. This hadith teaches us that we should always remember our commitments and agreements no matter what situation we are in, because it shows our integrity and loyalty towards others. We should also strive for justice by standing up for those who are oppressed or treated unfairly, just like how Prophet Muhammad did during his lifetime.
