Sahih al-Bukhari 3729 (Book 63, Hadith 117)
on the night of Al-`Aqaba Pledge: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), surrounded by a group of his companions said,
“Come along and give me the pledge of allegiance that you will not worship anything besides Allah,
will not steal, will not commit illegal sexual intercourse will not kill your children, will not utter;
slander, invented by yourself, and will not disobey me if I order you to do something good. Whoever
among you will respect and fulfill this pledge, will be rewarded by Allah. And if one of you commits
any of these sins and is punished in this world then that will be his expiation for it, and if one of you
commits any of these sins and Allah screens his sin, then his matter, will rest with Allah: If He will,
He will punish him and if He will,. He will excuse him.” So I gave the pledge of allegiance to him for
these conditions.
“ تَعَالَوْا بَايِعُونِي عَلَى أَنْ لاَ تُشْرِكُوا بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا، وَلاَ تَسْرِقُوا، وَلاَ تَزْنُوا، وَلاَ تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلاَدَكُمْ، وَلاَ تَأْتُونَ بِبُهْتَانٍ تَفْتَرُونَهُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَأَرْجُلِكُمْ، وَلاَ تَعْصُونِي فِي مَعْرُوفٍ، فَمَنْ وَفَى مِنْكُمْ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ، وَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَعُوقِبَ بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَهْوَ لَهُ كَفَّارَةٌ، وَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَسَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ فَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ، إِنْ شَاءَ عَاقَبَهُ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ عَفَا عَنْهُ ”. قَالَ فَبَايَعْتُهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ.
