We had only recently pledged our allegiance, so we said: 'We have sworn our allegiance to you, 0 Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Will you not pledge allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ?' We said: 'We have already pledged our allegiance to you, 0 Messenger of Allah.' Then he said: 'Will you not pledge allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ?' We held out our hands and said: 'We pledge our allegiance to you, 0 Messenger of Allah. Tell us on what basis we should pledge allegiance to you?' He said: 'On the basis that you will worship Allah and not associate anything with Him, and (you will perform) the five daily prayers, and you will obey Allah' – and he whispered – 'and you will not ask the people for anything.' I saw that some of those people, if they dropped a whip, they would not ask anyone to hand it to them." Chapter 36.
