مُسْنَدُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 282
Salamah ibn al-Akwaʿ (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I swore allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then I moved to the shade of a tree. When the crowd around the Messenger of Allah ﷺ thinned out, he said, “Ibn al-Akwaʿ, why do you not swear allegiance?” I said, “I have already sworn allegiance, Messenger of Allah.” He said, “Do it again.” So I swore allegiance a second time. [Yazīd ibn Abī ʿUbayd] said: I asked Salamah, “Abū Muslim, what did you give the pledge of allegiance for that day?” He said, “We gave the pledge of allegiance to death.”

Musnad Aḥmad 282
حَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ قَالَ: بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ عَدَلْتُ إِلَى ظِلِّ شَجَرَةٍ، فَلَمَّا خَفَّ النَّاسُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «يَا ابْنَ الْأَكْوَعِ، أَلَا تُبَايِعُ؟» ، قُلْتُ: قَدْ بَايَعْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «وَأَيْضًا» ، قَالَ: فَبَايَعْتُهُ الثَّانِيَةَ، قَالَ يَزِيدُ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا مُسْلِمٍ، عَلَى أَيِّ شَيْءٍ تُبَايِعُونَ يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ قَالَ: عَلَى الْمَوْتِ

Chain: Aḥmad → Makkī ibn Ibrāhīm → Yazīd ibn Abī ʿUbayd → Salamah ibn al-Akwaʿ (may Allah be pleased with him) → the Prophet ﷺ. Rijāl: (1) Makkī ibn Ibrāhīm: thiqah thabt, one of al-Bukhārī's senior teachers, d. 214 AH. (2) Yazīd ibn Abī ʿUbayd al-Aslamī: mawlā of Salamah, thiqah. (3) Salamah ibn al-Akwaʿ: Companion, present at Bayʿat al-Riḍwān, d. 74 AH. Takhrīj: al-Bukhārī; Muslim; also found in preceding reports of this same batch through other chains from Salamah, illustrating how a single Companion's report was transmitted through multiple thulāthī chains reaching Aḥmad. The pledge "to death" (ʿalā al-mawt) is understood by scholars not as a literal pledge to die, but as a pledge not to flee the battlefield, as clarified in other versions of the same report.
