7213. Narrated 'Ubāda bin Aṣ-Ṣāmit: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said to us while we were in a gathering, "Give me the Bai'a (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 or not to accuse an innocent person and to spread such an accusation among people. (6) Not to be disobedient (when ordered) for Ma'rūf (Islāmic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained). The Prophet ﷺ added, "Whoever amongst you fulfils his pledge, his reward will be with Allāh, and whoever indulges in any of those sins and receives the legal punishment in this world for that sin, then that punishment will be an expiation for that sin', and whoever commits any of those sins and Allāh does not expose (his sin), then it is up to Allāh, if He wishes He will punish him or if He wishes, He will forgive him." So we gave the pledge for that. [See Vol.1, Hadīth No. 18]
