Sahih al-Bukhari 4186 (Book 64, Hadith 226) #4001
The Pledge of Allegiance to Allah's Messenger

SUMMARY: Umar was unaware of the people giving their pledge of allegiance to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his son Abdullah gave his pledge before him.

Narrated Nafi': The people used to say that Ibn 'Umar had embraced Islam before 'Umar. This is not true. What happened is that 'Umar sent 'Abdullah to bring his horse from an Ansari man so as to fight on it. At that time the people were giving the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Messenger near the Tree, and 'Umar was not aware of that. So 'Abdullah (bin 'Umar) gave the Pledge of Allegiance (to the Prophet) and went to take the horse and brought it to 'Umar. While 'Umar was putting on the armor to get ready for fighting, 'Abdullah informed him that the people were giving the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle beneath the Tree. So 'Umar set out and 'Abdullah accompanied him till he gave the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Messenger , and it was this event that made people say that Ibn 'Umar had embraced Islam before 'Umar.
حَدَّثَنِي شُجَاعُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، سَمِعَ النَّضْرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا صَخْرٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، أَسْلَمَ قَبْلَ عُمَرَ، وَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ، وَلَكِنْ عُمَرُ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ أَرْسَلَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ إِلَى فَرَسٍ لَهُ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يَأْتِي بِهِ لِيُقَاتِلَ عَلَيْهِ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُبَايِعُ عِنْدَ الشَّجَرَةِ، وَعُمَرُ لاَ يَدْرِي بِذَلِكَ، فَبَايَعَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى الْفَرَسِ، فَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى عُمَرَ، وَعُمَرُ يَسْتَلْئِمُ لِلْقِتَالِ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُبَايِعُ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ ـ قَالَ ـ فَانْطَلَقَ فَذَهَبَ مَعَهُ حَتَّى بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَهِيَ الَّتِي يَتَحَدَّثُ النَّاسُ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ أَسْلَمَ قَبْلَ عُمَرَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about Umar and his son Abdullah. Umar was unaware that people were giving their pledge of allegiance to the Prophet Muhammad near a tree, so he sent Abdullah to get a horse from an Ansari man in order to fight. However, when Abdullah went, he found out that people were pledging their allegiance and so he gave his own pledge first before returning with the horse for Umar. This made people think that Ibn 'Umar had embraced Islam before 'Umar himself. This hadith teaches us about loyalty and faithfulness towards Allah's Messenger as well as obedience towards our parents. It also shows us how important it is for us to be aware of what is happening around us in order for us not to miss out on any opportunities or blessings from Allah SWT.
