Narrated Asma:
I prepared the journey-food for Allah’s Apostle in Abu Bakr’s house when he intended to emigrate
to Medina. I could not find anything to tie the food-container and the water skin with. So, I said to
Abu Bakr, “By Allah, I do not find anything to tie (these things) with except my waist belt.” He said,
“Cut it into two pieces and tie the water-skin with one piece and the food-container with the other
(the sub-narrator added, “She did accordingly and that was the reason for calling her Dhatun-Nit –
aqain (i.e. two-belted woman)).”

! Will you not give to me the pledge of Allegiance?’ I replied, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! I have already given
to you the pledge of Allegiance.’ He said, ‘Do it again.’ So I gave the pledge of allegiance for the
second time.” I asked ‘O Abu Muslim! For what did you give he pledge of Allegiance on that day?” He
replied, “We gave the pledge of Allegiance for death.”

On the day (of the battle) of the Trench, the Ansar were saying, “We are those who have sworn al –

lah! There is no life except the life of the Hereafter. So honor the Ansar and emigrants with Your
Generosity.”
And Narrated Mujashi: My brother and I came to the Prophet and I requested him to take the

pledge) for Islam and Jihad.”

“Tell me, if a wealthy active man, well-equipped with arms, goes out on military expeditions with
our chiefs, and orders us to do such things as we cannot do (should we obey him?)” I replied, “By Al –
lah, I do not know what to reply you, except that we, were in the company of the Prophet and he

used to order us to do a thing once only till we finished it. And no doubt, everyone among you will
remain in a good state as long as he obeys Allah. If one is in doubt as to the legality of something, he
should ask somebody who would satisfy him, but soon will come a time when you will not find such
a man. By Him, except Whom none has the right to be worshipped. I see that the example of what
has passed of this life (to what remains thereof) is like a pond whose fresh water has been used up
and nothing remains but muddy water.”

you that Paradise is under the shades of swords.” He then said,, “O Allah! The Revealer of the (Holy)

dels and bestow victory upon us.”

Allahu–Akbar! (Allah is Greater) and Khaibar is ruined, for whenever we approach a nation (i.e.
enemy to fight) then it will be a miserable morning for those who have been warned.”
