To give a Bai'a for not to flee during a battle

وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: {لَقَدْ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ يُبَايِعُونَكَ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ}.Some said, “(To give the Bai‘a pledge) for death,” according to the Statement of Allah تعالى: “Indeed, Allah was pleased with the believers…” (V.48:18)

Sahih Bukhari : 2962

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، سَمِعَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ مُجَاشِعٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَا وَأَخِي فَقُلْتُ بَايِعْنَا عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَضَتِ الْهِجْرَةُ لأَهْلِهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ عَلاَمَ تُبَايِعُنَا قَالَ ‏"‏ عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ وَالْجِهَادِ ‏"‏‏.‏

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."
