Tulikuwa kwa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake,inakaribia kama watu tisa au nane au saba hivi, akasema: "Hivi hamumpi ahadi ya utiifu Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu?" Na tulikuwa bado wageni katika hilo, tukasema: Tumekwisha kupa ahadi ewe Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu, kisha akasema: "Hivi hamumpi ahadi ya utiifu Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu?" Tukasema: tumekwisha kupa ahadi ewe Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu, kisha akasema: "Hivi hamumpi ahadi ya utiifu Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu?" *Akasema: Tukanyoosha mikono yetu na tukasema: Tukasema: tumekwisha kupa ahadi ewe Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu,........@

Abu Muslim al-Khawlāni reported: The dear and trustworthy one, as he is dear to me and I deem him trustworthy, ‘Awf ibn Mālik al-Ashja‘i (may Allah be pleased to him) said to me: We were with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), and we were nine, eight, or seven. He said: "Will you not give the pledge of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah?" We recently gave him a pledge of allegiance, so we said: We have already given you the pledge of allegiance, O Messenger of Allah. Then, he said: "Will you not give the pledge of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah?" We said: We have already given you the pledge of allegiance, O Messenger of Allah. Then, he said: "Will you not give the pledge of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah?" He said: We extended our hands and said: We have already given you the pledge of allegiance, O Messenger of Allah. So, for what should we give you the pledge of allegiance? He said: "To worship Allah and not associate any partners with Him; the five prayers; to obey - and he said in a low tone - and to not ask people for anything." Indeed, I saw some of these people not asking anyone to hand them even the whip if it fell from one of them."
