On the Oath of Allegiance

They leaped upon me as the camels leap upon each other on their
arrival for drinking water, having been let loose after unfastening of their
four legs till I thought they would either kill me or kill one another in
front of me. I thought over this matter in and out to the extent that it
prevented me from sleeping. But I found no way except to fight them or
else to reject whatever has been brought by Muhammad (PBUH).
I found that to face war was easier for me than to face the retribution and the hardships of this world were easier than
the hardships of the next world.
