Hadith 1221
1221 صحيح حديث عَائِشةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ: كَانَتِ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ، إِذَا هَاجَرْنَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْتَحِنُهُنَّ بِقَوْلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى (يَا أيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا جَاءَكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ مُهَاجِرَاتٍ فَامْتَحِنُوهُنَّ) إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَة قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَمَنْ أَقَرَّ بِهذَا الشَّرْطِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ فَقَدْ أَقَرَّ بِالْمِحْنَةِ، فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، إِذَا أَقْرَرْنَ بِذلِكَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِنَّ، قَالَ لَهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : انْطَلِقْنَ، فَقَدْ بَايَعْتُكُنَّ لاَ، وَاللهِ مَا مَسَّتْ يَدُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَ امْرَأَةٍ قَطُّ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ بَايَعَهُنَّ بَالْكَلاَمِ، وَاللهِ مَا أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ إِلاَّ بِمَا أَمَرَهُ اللهُ، يَقُولُ لَهُنَّ، إِذَا أَخَذَ عَلَيْهِنَّ قَدْ بَايَعْتُكُنَّ كَلاَمًا
The purified wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), narrated that when believing women migrated and came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he would test them, because of Allah Almighty’s statement: “O you who have believed, when believing women come to you as emigrants, test them.” Until the end of the verse. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that then, among those (migrating) believing women, whoever acknowledged this condition was considered to have passed the test. Thus, when those women would acknowledge it with their tongues, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would say to them, “Go, I have taken the pledge from you.” Never! By Allah! The hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) never touched the hand of any woman (while taking the pledge). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would take the pledge from them only verbally. By Allah! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took from the women only those pledges which Allah had commanded him to take. After taking the pledge, he would say to them, “I have taken the pledge from you.” He would say this only verbally, “I have taken the pledge from you.”
