Saheeh International

O Prophet, when the believing women come to you pledging to you that they will not associate anything with Allah, nor will they steal, nor will they commit unlawful sexual intercourse, nor will they kill their children, nor will they bring forth a slander they have invented between their arms and legs, nor will they disobey you in what is right - then accept their pledge and ask forgiveness for them of Allah . Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

Tafseer 'Ibn Kathir' (EN)

The Matters the Women pledged to

Al-Bukhari recorded that A'ishah the wife of the Prophet said,

"Allah's Messenger used to examine women who migrated to his side according to this Ayah,

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذَا جَاءكَ الْمُوْمِنَاتُ يُبَايِعْنَكَ

O Prophet! When believing women come to you pledging to you...

until,

إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

Urwah said,

"A'ishah said, `When any believing woman agreed to these conditions, Allah's Messenger would say to her,

قَدْ بَايَعْتُك

I have accepted your pledge.

but, by Allah, he never touched the hand of any women at all while taking the pledge from them. He only took their pledge of allegiance by saying,

قَدْ بَايَعْتُكِ عَلى ذَلِك

I have accepted your pledge."

This is the wording of Al-Bukhari.

Imam Ahmad recorded that Umaymah bint Ruqayqah said,

"I came to Allah's Messenger with some women to give him our pledge and he took the pledge from us that is mentioned in the Qur'an, that we associate none with Allah, etc; as in the Ayah. Then he said,

فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُنَّ وَأَطَقْتُن

As much as you can bear to implement.

We said, `Surely, Allah and His Messenger are more merciful with us than we are with ourselves.'

We then said, `O Allah's Messenger, should you not shake hands with us'

He said,

إِنِّي لَا أُصَافِحُ النِّسَاءَ إِنَّمَا قَوْلِي لاِمْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ كَقَوْلِي لِمِايَةِ امْرَأَة

I do not shake hands with women, for my statement to one woman is as sufficient as my statement to a hundred women."

This Hadith has an authentic chain of narration; At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah collected it.

Al-Bukhari also recorded that Umm Atiyah said,

"The Messenger of Allah took our pledge and recited to us the Ayah,

أَن لاَّ يُشْرِكْنَ بِاللَّهِ شَيْيًا

that they will not associate anything with Allah,

and forbade us to wail for the dead. Thereupon, a lady withdrew her hand saying, `But such and such lady shared with me in lamenting (over one of my relatives), so I must reward hers.'

The Prophet did not object to that, so she went there and returned to the Prophet and he accepted her pledge of allegiance."

Muslim also collected this Hadith.

Imam Ahmad recorded that Ubadah bin As-Samit said,

"While we were with the Prophet , he said,

تُبَايِعُونِي عَلى أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكُوا بِاللهِ شَيْيًا وَلَا تَسْرِقُوا وَلَا تَزْنُوا وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ

Pledge to me in that you will not associate any with Allah, nor steal, nor commit Zina, nor kill your children.

Then he recited the Ayah that begins;

إِذَا جَاءكَ الْمُوْمِنَاتُ

(when the believing women come to you...) and took the pledge of allegiance from the women.

He then added,

فَمَنْ وَفَى مِنْكُمْ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللهِ وَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْيًا فَعُوقِبَ بِهِ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَةٌ لَهُ وَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْيًا فَسَتَرَهُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ إِلَى اللهِ إِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَه

Those among you who fulfill this pledge, will receive their reward from Allah.

Those who deviate from any of it and receive the legal punishment (in this life), the punishment will be expiation for that sin.

Whoever deviates from any of it and Allah screens him, then it is up to Allah to punish or forgive if He wills.

The Two Sahihs recorded this Hadith.

Allah's statement,

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذَا جَاءكَ الْمُوْمِنَاتُ يُبَايِعْنَكَ

O Prophet! When the believing women come to you pledging to you,

means, `if any woman comes to you to give you the pledge and she accepts these conditions, then accept the pledge from her,'

عَلَى أَن لاَّ يُشْرِكْنَ بِاللَّهِ شَيْيًا

وَلَا يَسْرِقْنَ

that they will not associate anything with Allah, that they will not steal,

meaning, the property of other people.

In the case where a husband is not fulfilling his duty of spending on his wife, then she is allowed to use a part of his wealth, what is reasonable, to spend on herself. This is the case regardless of whether the husband knows about his wife's actions or not, because of the Hadith in which Hind bint `Utbah said,

"O Allah's Messenger! Abu Sufyan is a miser! He does not give me sufficient money for the living expense of our family and myself. Am I allowed to secretly take from his money without his knowledge."

Allah's Messenger said to her,

خُذِي مِنْ مَالِهِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ مَا يَكْفِيكِ وَيَكْفِي بَنِيك

You may take from what is reasonable and appropriate for you and your children) This Hadith was recorded in the two Sahihs.

Allah's statement,

وَلَا يَزْنِينَ

they will not commit Zina,

is similar to His other statement,

وَلَا تَقْرَبُواْ الزِّنَى إِنَّهُ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً وَسَأءَ سَبِيلً

And come not near to Az-Zina. Verily, it is a Fahishah (immoral act) and an evil way. (17:32)

A Hadith collected from Samurah mentions that for the adulterers and fornicators there is a painful torment in the fire of Hell.

Imam Ahmad recorded that A'ishah said,

"Fatimah bint `Utbah came to give her pledge to Allah's Messenger, who took the pledge from her,

أَن لاَّ يُشْرِكْنَ بِاللَّهِ شَيْيًا

وَلَا يَسْرِقْنَ وَلَا يَزْنِينَ

that they will not associate anything with Allah, they will not steal, that they will not commit Zina (fornication and adultery),

Fatimah bashfully placed her hand on her head in shyness. The Prophet liked what she did.

A'ishah said, `O woman! Accept the pledge, because by Allah, we all gave the pledge to the same.'

She said, `Yes then,'

and she gave her pledge to the same things mentioned in the Ayah."'

Allah's statement,

وَلَا يَقْتُلْنَ أَوْلَادَهُنَّ

that they will not kill their children,

includes killing children after they are born.

The people of Jahiliyyah used to kill their children because they feared poverty. The Ayah includes killing the fetus, just as some ignorant women do for various evil reasons.

Allah's statement,

وَلَا يَأْتِينَ بِبُهْتَانٍ يَفْتَرِينَهُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِنَّ وَأَرْجُلِهِنَّ

and that they will not utter slander, fabricating from between their hands and their feet,

Ibn Abbas said,

"It means that they not to attribute to their husbands other than their legitimate children."

Muqatil said similarly.

Allah's statement,

وَلَا يَعْصِينَكَ فِي مَعْرُوفٍ

and that they will not disobey you in Ma`ruf (good),

means, `that they will obey you when you order them to do good and forbid them from evil.'

Al-Bukhari recorded that Ibn `Abbas said about Allah's statement,

وَلَا يَعْصِينَكَ فِي مَعْرُوفٍ

(and that they will not disobey you in any Ma`ruf (good),

"This was one of the conditions which Allah imposed on the women."

Maymun bin Mihran said,

"Allah did not order obedience to His Prophet for other than Ma`ruf, and Ma`ruf is itself obedience."

Ibn Zayd said,

"Allah commanded that His Messenger, the best of His creation, be obeyed in that which is Ma`ruf."

Ibn Jarir recorded that Umm Atiyah Al-Ansariyah said,

"Among the conditions included in our pledge to Allah's Messenger to good was not to wail. A woman said, `So-and-so family brought comfort to me (by wailing over my dead relative), so I will first pay them back.' So she went and paid them back in the same (wailed for their dead), and then came and gave her pledge. Only she and Umm Sulaym bint Milhan, the mother of Anas bin Malik, did so."

Al-Bukhari collected this Hadith from the way of Hafsah bint Sirin from Umm `Atiyah Nusaybah Al-Ansariyah, may Allah be pleased with her.

Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Asid bin Abi Asid Al-Barrad said that one of the women who gave the pledge to Allah's Messenger said,

"Among the conditions included in the pledge that the Messenger took from us, is that we do not disobey any act of Ma`ruf (good) that he ordains. We should neither scratch our faces, pull our hair (in grief), tear our clothes nor wail."

Then Allah exalted permitted,

فَبَايِعْهُنَّ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُنَّ اللَّهَ

إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

then do thou receive their fealty, and pray to Allah for the forgiveness (of their sins):for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
