Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took the pledge of allegiance from the women alone, a stately woman stood up, as if she were from the tribe of Mudar, and said: O Messenger of Allah, we are all (dependent) upon our sons and our fathers. Imam Abu Dawud (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I think she also said: upon our husbands. That is, is nothing of their wealth lawful for us? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fresh food: eat it and give it as gifts."
