Sahih al-Bukhari 2959 (Book 56, Hadith 170) #2830
Refusing to Pledge Allegiance for Death

SUMMARY: Abdullah bin Zaid refused to pledge allegiance for death after the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Zaid: that in the time (of the battle) of Al-Harra a person came to him and said, "Ibn Hanzala is taking the pledge of allegiance from the people for death". He said, "I will never give a pledge of allegiance for such a thing to anyone after Allah's Messenger ".
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ زَمَنَ الْحَرَّةِ أَتَاهُ آتٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ ابْنَ حَنْظَلَةَ يُبَايِعُ النَّاسَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لاَ أُبَايِعُ عَلَى هَذَا أَحَدًا بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a man named Abdullah bin Zaid who was present during the battle of Al-Harra. During this time, a person came to him and said that Ibn Hanzala was taking pledges from people for death. To this, Abdullah bin Zaid replied that he would never give such a pledge after the Prophet Muhammad's passing. This hadith teaches us that we should not take any kind of pledge or oath which goes against Allah's will or teachings. We should always strive to follow Allah's commands and stay away from anything which goes against His will. It also teaches us that we should be loyal and faithful in our commitments and promises made with others, especially when it comes to matters related to life and death.
