أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي رَهْطٍ فَقَالَ أُبَايِعُکُمْ عَلَی أَنْ لَا تُشْرِکُوا بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا تَسْرِقُوا وَلَا تَزْنُوا وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادَکُمْ وَلَا تَأْتُوا بِبُهْتَانٍ تَفْتَرُونَهُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيکُمْ وَأَرْجُلِکُمْ وَلَا تَعْصُونِي فِي مَعْرُوفٍ فَمَنْ وَفَّی مِنْکُمْ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَی اللَّهِ وَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْ ذَلِکَ شَيْئًا فَعُوقِبَ فِيهِ فَهُوَ طَهُورُهُ وَمَنْ سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ فَذَاکَ إِلَی اللَّهِ إِنْ شَائَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَائَ غَفَرَ لَهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4193
It was narrated that Abu Idris Al-Khawlani said: “I heard ‘Ubadah bin As-Samit say: ‘I pledged to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم among a group of people, and he said: I accept your pledge that you will not associate anything with Allah, you will not steal, you will not have unlawful sexual relations, you will not kill your children, you will not utter slander, fabricating from between your hands and feet, and you will not disobey me when commanded with goodness. Whoever fulfills (this pledge), his reward will be with Allah, and whoever commits any of these actions and is punished for it, it will be purification for him. Whoever (commits any of these actions then) Allah conceals him, it is up to Allah; if He wills He will forgive him, and if He wills, He will punish him.” (Sahih)
