“I
heard
Anas bin Malik say: ‘We gave our pledge to the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) on the basis that we would listen and obey. He (ﷺ) said:
“As
much as you can.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 24, Hadith 116
← Previous Hadith
“We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) –
seven or eight or nine of us – and he said: ‘Will you not give
pledge
to the Messenger of Allah?’ So we stretched forth our hands
and
someone said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, we have already given you
our
pledge. On what basis shall we give this pledge?’ He said: ‘(On
the
basis that) you will worship Allah and not associate anything
with
Him, you will establish the five daily prayers, you will listen
and
obey’ – then he spoke some words under his breath – ‘and
you will not
ask the people for anything.’ He said: ‘I saw some
of that group. If
he dropped his whip he would not ask anyone to pick
it up for him.’”

“A slave came and gave his pledge to
the
Prophet (ﷺ), pledging to emigrate, and the Prophet (ﷺ) did not
realize that he was a slave. Then his master came looking for him,
and
the Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Sell him to me,’ and he brought him
in
exchange for two black slaves. Then after that he did not accept
the
pledge from anyone until he had asked whether he was a slave.”
