صحیح مسلم · Hadith 2166

Hafsa narrated on the authority of Umm 'Atiyya that she said: When this verse was revealed: When believing women came to thee giving thee a pledge that they will not associate aught with Allah, and will not disobey thee in good (lx. 12), she (Umm Atiyya) said: In (this pledge) was also included wailing. I said: Messenger of Allah, except members of such a tribe who helped me (in lamentation) during pre-Islamic days, there is left no alternative for me, but that I should also help them. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: (Yes) but only in case of the members of such a tribe.
