Narrated 'Ubāda bin Aṣ-Ṣāmit, who had taken part in the battle of Badr with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and had been amongst his Companions on the night of Al-'Aqaba Pledge: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, surrounded by a group of his Companions, said, "Come along and give me the Bai'a (pledge) that you will not worship anything besides Allāh, will not steal, will not commit illegal sexual intercourse, will not kill your children, will not utter slander invented by yourself, and will not disobey me if I order you to do Ma'rūf (Islāmic Monotheism and all that Islām has ordained). Whoever among you will respect and fulfil this pledge, will be rewarded by Allāh. And if one of you commits any of these sins and is punished in this world then that will be his expiation for it, and if one of you commits any of these sins and Allāh screens his sin, then his matter will rest with Allāh. If He will, He will punish him and if He will, He will excuse him." The narrator added: "So I gave the Bai'a (pledge) to him on these conditions.
