حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنِي صَخْرُ بْنُ جُوَيْرِيَةَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ قَالَ لَمَّا خَلَعَ النَّاسُ يَزِيدَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ جَمَعَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ بَنِيهِ وَأَهْلَهُ ثُمَّ تَشَهَّدَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّا قَدْ بَايَعْنَا هَذَا الرَّجُلَ عَلَى بَيْعِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْغَادِرَ يُنْصَبُ لَهُ لِوَاءٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُقَالُ هَذِهِ غَدْرَةُ فُلَانٍ وَإِنَّ مِنْ أَعْظَمِ الْغَدْرِ أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ الْإِشْرَاكُ بِاللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَنْ يُبَايِعَ رَجُلٌ رَجُلًا عَلَى بَيْعِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ثُمَّ يَنْكُثَ بَيْعَتَهُ فَلَا يَخْلَعَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ يَزِيدَ وَلَا يُشْرِفَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ فَيَكُونَ صَيْلَمٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 5088
It was narrated that Naafi' said: When the people revoked their allegiance to Yazeed ibn Mu'aawiyah, Ibn 'Umar gathered his family together, then he recited the tashahhud, then he said: To proceed: we have sworn allegiance to the man in accordance with the teachings of Allah and His Messenger, and I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "The betrayer will have a banner set up for him on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said: This is the betrayal of So and so." And indeed one of the greatest of betrayals - apart from associating anything with Allah (PBUH) - is for a man to swear allegiance to another in accordance with the teachings of Allah and His Messenger, then to break that oath of allegiance. No one among you should revoke his allegiance to Yazeed, and no one among you should even think of doing so, because that could be the end (of ties) between me and him.
