Does that include the fear a person has of a disbeliever, such that he does not enter into battle with him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The student: Was the fear of Hassan ibn Thabit such that he did not engage in battle with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh : No, that is not correct. This is of the same kind as what was reported regarding Tha'labah

And among them are those who made a covenant with Allah

ومنهم من عاهد الله

[At-Tawbah 9:75]

. This famous report among the common people now, which every one who preaches to people talks about, is a lie; it is not correct.
