Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ لَمْ نُبَايِعْ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ إِنَّمَا بَايَعْنَاهُ عَلَى أَنْ لَا نَفِرَّ.
English Translation
Sufyan told us, from Abu al-Zubayr, who heard Jabir say: We did not pledge allegiance to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to die; rather we pledged allegiance to him not to flee.
