English translation

4167. It was narrated from ‘Ubādah bin Aṣ-Ṣāmit that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Why don’t you pledge to me upon that which the women have pledged: That you will not associate anything with Allāh, that you will not steal, that you will not have unlawful sexual relations, that you will not utter slander, fabricating from between your hands and feet, and that you will not disobey me in goodness (Ma’rūf)?” We said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allāh.” So we gave him our pledge, on that basis. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Whoever commits any of these actions after that, and is punished, that will be an expiation. Whoever is not punished, then his affair is up to Allāh; if He wills, He will forgive him, and if He wills, He will punish him.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

4162 - أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ فُضَيْلٍ، أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:: «أَلَا تُبَايِعُونِي عَلَى مَا بَايَعَ عَلَيْهِ النِّسَاءُ، أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكُوا بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا، وَلَا تَسْرِقُوا، وَلَا تَزْنُوا، وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ، وَلَا تَأْتُوا بِبُهْتَانٍ تَفْتَرُونَهُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَأَرْجُلِكُمْ، وَلَا تَعْصُونِي فِي مَعْرُوفٍ؟» قُلْنَا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَبَايَعْنَاهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَمَنْ أَصَابَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَنَالَتْهُ عُقُوبَةٌ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَةٌ، وَمَنْ لَمْ تَنَلْهُ عُقُوبَةٌ فَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ، إِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ عَاقَبَهُ»

Commentary

1. ‘Ma’rūf’: This is mentioned by way of common usage. Otherwise it is absolutely impossible that Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ could give command to do something bad, or it includes those he puts in authority; and that there is no obedience to them in disobedience to Allāh. An-Nawawī said similarly. 2. ‘That will be an expiation’: It is argued, using similar narrations as proof, that the prescribed legal punishment meted out in the life of the world would eradicate the sin which was committed. It would not be questioned about by Allāh, Most High.
