5288. Narrated ‘Āishah رضي الله عنها the wife of the Prophet ﷺ: Whenever believing women came to the Prophet ﷺ as emigrants, he used to test them in accordance with the Order of Allāh تعالى:
"O you who believe! When believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them..." (V.60:10)
So if anyone of those believing women accepted the above mentioned conditions, she accepted the conditions of Faith. When they agreed on those conditions and confessed that with their tongues, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ would say to them, "Go, I have accepted your Bai'a (pledge) (for Islām)." 'Aīshah added: By Allāh, the hand of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ never touched the hand of any woman, but he only used to take their Bai'a (pledge) orally. By Allāh, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ did not take the Bai'a (pledge) of the women except in accordance with what Allāh had ordered him. When he accepted their Bai'a (pledge) he would say to them. "I have accepted your Bai'a (pledge)." (See H.2713)
