عن عُبَادَةَ بن الصَّامتِ رضي الله عنه قال: بَايَعْنَا رسولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم على السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِي الْعُسْرِ وَالْيُسْرِ، وَالْمَنْشَطِ وَالْمَكْرَهِ، وعلى أَثَرَةٍ علينا، وعلى أَلَّا نُنَازِعَ الْأَمْرَ أهلَه، وعلى أَنْ نَقُولَ بِالْحَقِّ أينما كُنَّا، لا نَخَافُ في الله لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ.
“‘Ubādah ibn as-Sāmit (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) to listen and obey at times of hardship and ease, energy and reluctance, and to endure if prejudice is held against us, and not to fight those in authority for power, and to say the truth wherever we are, without fearing anyone's reproach for the sake of Allah.”
