Al-Muwatta' of Imam Malik - The Oath of Allegiance - Hadith

About the Oath of Allegiance

1 Malik related to me from 'Abdullah ibn Dinar that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said,
"When we took an oath of allegiance with him to hear and obey, the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to us, 'In what you are
able.' "

[Bukhari and Muslim]

2 Malik related to me from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir that Umayma bint Ruqayqa
said, "I went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, with the women who took an oath of allegiance with him in Islam. They
said, 'Messenger of Allah! We take a pledge with you not to associate anything
with Allah, not to steal, not to commit adultery, not to kill our children, nor
to produce any lie that we have devised between our hands and feet, and not to
disobey you in what is known.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, 'In what you can do and are able.'"

Umayma continued, "They said, 'Allah and His Messenger are more merciful to
us than ourselves. Come, let us give our hands to you, Messenger of Allah!' The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'I do not
shake hands with women. My word to a hundred women is like my word to one
woman.'"

[In at-Tirmidhi and an-Nasa'i]

3 Malik related to me from 'Abdullah ibn Dinar that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar wrote
to 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, making an oath of allegiance. He wrote, "In the
name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Most Merciful. To the slave of Allah, 'Abd
al-Malik, the Amir al-Muminin. Peace be upon you. I praise Allah to you. There
is no god but Him. I acknowledge your right to my hearing and my obedience
according to the sunna of Allah and the sunna of His Prophet in
what I am able."
