them in accordance with the order of Allah. ‘O you who believe! When believing women come to you
as emigrants, examine them . . .’ (60.10) So if anyone of those believing women accepted the above
mentioned conditions, she accepted the conditions of faith. When they agreed on those conditions and
confessed that with their tongues, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) would say to them, “Go, I have accepted your oath
of allegiance (for Islam). By Allah, and hand of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) never touched the hand of any
woman, but he only used to take their pledge of allegiance orally. By Allah, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) did not
take the pledge of allegiance of the women except in accordance with what Allah had ordered him.
When he accepted their pledge of allegiance he would say to them, “I have accepted your oath of
allegiance.”
