Seven, eight or nine people, including myself, were with Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)

Kutoka kwa 'Auf bin Malik Al-Ashja'i (Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake) reported: "Seven, eight or nine people, including myself, were with Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) on an occasion when he (ﷺ) remarked, "Would you pledge allegiance tEwe Mjumbe wa Allah?" As we had taken oath of allegiance shortly before, we said, "We have already done so, Ewe Mjumbe wa Allah." He again asked, "Would you not pledge allegiance tEwe Mjumbe wa Allah?" So we stretched out our hands and said, "We have already made our pledge with you, Ewe Mjumbe wa Allah, on what should we make a pledge with you?" He said, "To worship Allah and not to associate anything with Him, to perform the five (daily) Salat and to obey." Then he added in a low tone, "And not to ask people for anything." Thereafter, I noticed that some of these people who were present did not ask anyone to pick up even the whip for them if it fell from their hands. ."
