Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ لَقِيطٍ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سِتَّةِ نَفَرٍ أَوْ سَبْعَةٍ أَوْ ثَمَانِيَةٍ فَقَالَ لَنَا بَايِعُونِي فَقُلْنَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَدْ بَايَعْنَاكَ قَالَ بَايِعُونِي فَبَايَعْنَاهُ فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا بِمَا أَخَذَ عَلَى النَّاسِ ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَ ذَلِكَ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَّةً فَقَالَ لَا تَسْأَلُوا النَّاسَ شَيْئًا.
English Translation
Qutaybah b. Sa'id told us, saying: Ibn Lahi'ah told us, from Yazid b. Habib, from Rabi'ah b. Laqit, from Awf b. Malik al-Ashja'i, who said: I entered upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with six, seven, or eight men. He said to us, "Pledge allegiance to me." We said, "O Prophet of Allah, we have already pledged allegiance to you." He said, "Pledge allegiance to me." So we pledged allegiance to him, and he took from us what he took from the people; then he followed that with a quiet word, saying, "Do not ask people for anything."
