Sayyidah Umm Sinan al-Aslamiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), who was one of the women who gave the pledge of allegiance, said: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have come to you despite my shyness, and I have come only because need has compelled me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Had you remained free of need (of others), it would have been better for you."
