Fighting for the Cause of Allah (Jihaad)
Chapter: To give a Bai'a for not to flee during a battle
Narrated Mujashi:
My brother and I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and I requested him to take the pledge of allegiance from us for migration. He said, "Migration has passed away with its people." I asked, "For what will you take the pledge of allegiance from us then?" He said, "I will take (the pledge) for Islam and Jihad."
