Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit: who took part
in the battle of Badr and was a Naqib (a
person heading a group of six persons), on
the night of Al-'Aqaba pledge: Allah's Apostle
said while a group of his companions were
around him, "Swear allegiance to me 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 accusation among people). 6.
Not to be disobedient (when ordered) to do
good deed." The Prophet added: "Whoever
among you fulfills his pledge will be rewarded
by Allah. And whoever indulges in any one of
them (except the ascription of partners to
Allah) and gets the punishment in this world,
that punishment will be an expiation for that
sin. And if one indulges in any of them, and
Allah conceals his sin, it is up to Him to
forgive or punish him (in the Hereafter)."
'Ubada bin As-Samit added: "So we swore
allegiance for these." (points to Allah's
Apostle)
