أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ کَيْسَانَ عَنْ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ فُضَيْلٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَلَا تُبَايِعُونِي عَلَی مَا بَايَعَ عَلَيْهِ النِّسَائُ أَنْ لَا تُشْرِکُوا بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا تَسْرِقُوا وَلَا تَزْنُوا وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادَکُمْ وَلَا تَأْتُوا بِبُهْتَانٍ تَفْتَرُونَهُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيکُمْ وَأَرْجُلِکُمْ وَلَا تَعْصُونِي فِي مَعْرُوفٍ قُلْنَا بَلَی يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ عَلَی ذَلِکَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَنْ أَصَابَ بَعْدَ ذَلِکَ شَيْئًا فَنَالَتْهُ عُقُوبَةٌ فَهُوَ کَفَّارَةٌ وَمَنْ لَمْ تَنَلْهُ عُقُوبَةٌ فَأَمْرُهُ إِلَی اللَّهِ إِنْ شَائَ غَفَرَ لَهُ وَإِنْ شَائَ عَاقَبَهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4177
It was narrated from Ibadah bin As-Samit that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Why dont you pledge to me upon that which the women have pledged: That you will not associate anything with Allah, that you will not steal, that you will not have unlawful sexual relations, that you will not utter slander, fabricating from between your hands and feet, and that you will not disobey me in goodness (Ma’ruf)?” We said: “Yes, Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم.” So we gave him our pledge, on that basis. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Whoever commits any of these actions after that, and is punished, that will be an expiation. Whoever is not punished, then his affair is up to Allah; if He wills, He will forgive him, and if He wills, He will punish him.” (Sahih)
