4183. It was narrated that Abû Idrîs Al-Khawlânî said: “I heard ‘Ubâdah bin Aş-Şâmit say: ‘I pledged to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ among a group of people, and he said: I accept your pledge that you will not associate anything with Allâh, you will not steal, you will not have unlawful sexual relations, you will not kill your children, you will not utter slander, fabricating from between your hands and feet, and you will not disobey me when commanded with goodness. Whoever fulfills (this pledge), his reward will be with Allâh, and whoever commits any of these actions and is punished for it, it will be purification for him. Whoever (commits any of these actions then) Allâh conceals him, it is up to Allâh; if He wills He will forgive him, and if He wills, He will punish him.” (Sahîh)
