We gave the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet and he recited to me the verse (60.12). That they
will not associate anything in worship with Allah (60.12). And he also prevented us from wailing
and lamenting over the dead. A woman from us held her hand out and said, “Such-and-such a wo –
man cried over a dead person belonging to my family and I want to compensate her for that crying”
The Prophet did not say anything in reply and she left and returned. None of those women abided by
her pledge except Um Sulaim, Um Al-‘Ala’, and the daughter of Abi Sabra, the wife of Al-Muadh or
the daughter of Abi Sabra, and the wife of Mu’adh.

hand possessed. (i.e. his captives or his lady slaves).

Allah’s Apostle said to us while we were in a gathering, “Give me the oath (Pledge of allegiance for:
(1) Not to join anything in worship along with Allah, (2) Not to steal, (3) Not to commit illegal sexual
intercourse, (4) Not to kill your children, (5) Not to accuse an innocent person (to spread such an ac –
cusation among people), (6) Not to be disobedient (when ordered) to do good deeds. The Prophet ad –
ded: Whoever amongst you fulfill his pledge, his reward will be with Allah, and whoever commits
any of those sins and receives the legal punishment in this world for that sin, then that punishment
will be an expiation for that sin, and whoever commits any of those sins and Allah does not expose
him, then it is up to Allah if He wishes He will punish him or if He wishes, He will forgive him.” So
we gave the Pledge for that. (See Hadith No. 17, Vol. 1)

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “There will be three types of people whom Allah will neither speak to them on
the Day of Resurrection nor will purify them from sins, and they will have a painful punishment:
They are, (1) a man possessed superfluous water (more than he needs) on a way and he withholds it
from the travelers. (2) a man who gives a pledge of allegiance to an Imam (ruler) and gives it only
for worldly benefits, if the Imam gives him what he wants, he abides by his pledge, otherwise he does
not fulfill his pledge; (3) and a man who sells something to another man after the ‘Asr prayer and
swears by Allah (a false oath) that he has been offered so much for it whereupon the buyer believes
him and buys it although in fact, the seller has not been offered such a price.” (See Hadith No. 838,
