18. Narrated 'Ubāda bin Aṣ-Ṣāmit رضي الله عنه, who took part in the battle of Badr and was a Naqīb (a person heading a group of six persons), on the night of Al-Aqaba Pledge : Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said while a group of his Companions were around him, "Give me the Bai'āh (pledge) for : 1. Not to join anything in worship along with Allāh. 2. Not to steal. 3. Not to commit illegal sexual intercourse. 4. Not to kill your children. 5. Not to utter slander intentionally forging falsehood (i.e., by making illegal children belonging to their husbands) or (not to accuse an innocent person and to spread such an accusation among people). 6. Not to be disobedient (when ordered) to do Ma'rūf (Islamic Monotheism and all other good deeds). (The Prophet ﷺ added): "Whoever amongst you fulfils his pledge will be rewarded by Allāh . جَلَّ جَلَالَهُ . And whoever indulges in any one of these (sins) gets the punishment in this world, that punishment will be an expiation for that sin. And if one indulges in any of them, and Allāh conceals (his sin), it is up to Him to forgive or punish him (in the Hereafter)." ‘Ubāda bin Aṣ-Ṣāmit added: "So we gave the Bai'āh for these." (points to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ).
