Muwatta Malik #1935
The Oath of Allegiance
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، قَالَ كُنَّا إِذَا بَايَعْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ يَقُولُ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ " .
Malik related to me from Abdullah ibn Dinar that Abdullah ibn
Umar said, "When we took an oath of allegiance with him to hear and
obey, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said to us, 'In what you are able.' "
