Commentary
When the groups of women, like the groups of men, began to come to the Prophet ﷺ for giving the pledge of loyalty to Islam, many of the women belonged to the tribes whose moral standard was low. He, at the occasion of the pledge, stressed the avoidance of the evil doings that no individual of an Islamic society is allowed to commit. Polytheism, stealing, fornication, killing children as well as forging accusations about sexual matters were forbidden.
