| HADEETH OF
THE WEEK Narrated Ubada bin As
Samit who took part in the battle of Badr and was a Naqib (a person
heading a group of six persons), on the night of Al-'Aqaba pledge:
Allah's Apostle said while a group of his companions were around
him, "Swear allegiance to me for:
- Not
to join anything in worship along with Allah.
-
Not to steal.
-
Not to commit illegal sexual intercourse.
-
Not to kill your children.
-
Not to accuse an innocent person (to spread such an accusation
among people).
-
Not to be disobedient (when ordered) to do good deed."
The Prophet added: "Whoever among you fulfills
his pledge will be rewarded by Allah. And whoever indulges in any
one of them (except the ascription of partners to Allah) and gets
the punishment in this world, that punishment will be an expiation
for that sin. And if one indulges in any of them, and Allah conceals
his sin, it is up to Him to forgive or punish him (in the Hereafter)."
'Ubada bin As-Samit added: "So we swore allegiance for these."
