Hadith 8313
اُردوEn
عَنْ عُرْوَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُبَايِعُ النِّسَاءَ بِالْكَلَامِ بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ عَلَى أَنْ لَا يُشْرِكْنَ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا [سورة الممتحنة: ١٢] قَالَتْ وَمَا مَسَّتْ يَدُهُ يَدَ امْرَأَةٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا امْرَأَةً يَمْلِكُهَا
Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to take the pledge of allegiance from women only verbally, and he would take the pledge on this verse that women will not associate anything with Allah... The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never touched the hand of any woman, except for the woman whom he (peace and blessings be upon him) owned.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Since it is forbidden to touch a non-mahram woman, therefore the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, at the time of taking the pledge of allegiance (bay‘ah) from women, would not place his hand upon their hands, rather he would take the pledge verbally.
