- " تعالوا بايعوني على أن لا تشركوا بالله شيئا، ولا تسرقوا، ولا تزنوا، ولا تقتلوا أولادكم، ولا تأتوا ببهتان تفترونه بين أيديكم وأرجلكم، ولا تعصوني في معروف، فمن وفى منكم فأجره على الله، ومن أصاب من ذلك شيئا فعوقب به في الدنيا فهو كفارة له، ومن أصاب من ذلك شيئا فستره الله فأمره إلى الله ، إن شاء عاقبه، وإن شاء عفا عنه ".
Sayyiduna ‘Ubādah bin Sāmit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Come and pledge allegiance to me on the condition that you will not associate anything with Allah, you will not steal, you will not commit adultery, you will not kill your children, you will not slander anyone, and you will not disobey me in matters of goodness. Whoever fulfills this pledge, his reward is with Allah. And whoever commits (any sin) and is punished for it, that will be an expiation for him. And whoever commits (any sin) and Allah conceals it for him, then his matter is with Allah; if He wills, He will punish him, and if He wills, He will forgive him.”
