Mujashi' b. Mas'ud Narrated from:
I brought my brother Abu Ma'bad to the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) after the conquest of Mecca and said: Messenger of Allah, allow him to swear his pledge of migration at your hand. He said: The period of migration is over with those who had to do it (and now nobody can get this meritorious distinctions) I said: For what actions will you allow him to bind himself in oath? He said: (He can do so) for serving the cause of Islam, for fighting in the way of Allah and for fighting in the cause of virtue.Abd Uthman said: I met Abd Ma'bad and told him what I had heard from Mujashi'. He said: He has told the truth.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1863b
This Hadith explains a pledge after the Conquest of Mecca. Mujashi' b. Mas'ud brought his brother Abu Ma'bad to the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم and asked that he be allowed to pledge on Hijra. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that Hijra had already passed with its people. When Mujashi' asked what pledge could be taken from him, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: Islam, Jihad, and good. For users searching for hadith about pledge after conquest or no hijra after conquest, this report gives a direct answer. The door of that special migration was closed, but the door of faith, striving, and good was still open. The narration also includes Abu Uthman’s later check with Abu Ma'bad, who confirmed that Mujashi' had spoken the truth.
What we learn from this hadith
- After the Conquest, the special pledge of Hijra was no longer taken in that same way.
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم accepted pledge on Islam, Jihad, and good.
- Abu Ma'bad confirmed the report, showing care in passing on what was heard.
