وحَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَيْلِيُّ ، وَأَبُو الطَّاهِرِ ، قَالَ أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ : أَخْبَرَنَا ، وقَالَ هَارُونُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ عَنْ بَيْعَةِ النِّسَاءِ ، قَالَتْ : " مَا مَسَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ امْرَأَةً قَطُّ ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْخُذَ عَلَيْهَا ، فَإِذَا أَخَذَ عَلَيْهَا فَأَعْطَتْهُ ، قَالَ : " اذْهَبِي فَقَدْ بَايَعْتُكِ " .
It has been narrated on the authority of 'Urwa that 'A'isha described to him the way the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) took the oath of fealty from women. She said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) never touched a woman with his hand. He would only take a vow from her and when he had taken the (verbal) vow, he would say: You may go. I have accepted your fealty.
