The Prophet (ﷺ) used to take the Pledge of allegiance from the women by words only after reciting this
Holy Verse:--(60.12) "..that they will not associate anything in worship with Allah." (60.12) And the
hand of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not touch any woman's hand except the hand of that woman his right hand
possessed. (i.e. his captives or his lady slaves).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 93, Hadith 74

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to us while we were in a gathering, "Give me the oath (Pledge of allegiance for:
(1) Not to join anything in worship along with Allah, (2) Not to steal, (3) Not to commit illegal sexual
intercourse, (4) Not to kill your children, (5) Not to accuse an innocent person (to spread such an
accusation among people), (6) Not to be disobedient (when ordered) to do good deeds. The Prophet (ﷺ)
added: Whoever amongst you fulfill his pledge, his reward will be with Allah, and whoever commits
any of those sins and receives the legal punishment in this world for that sin, then that punishment will
be an expiation for that sin, and whoever commits any of those sins and Allah does not expose him,
then it is up to Allah if He wishes He will punish him or if He wishes, He will forgive him." So we
gave the Pledge for that. (See Hadith No. 17, Vol. 1)

We gave the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he recited to me the verse (60.12). That they will
not associate anything in worship with Allah (60.12). And he also prevented us from wailing and
lamenting over the dead. A woman from us held her hand out and said, "Such-and-such a woman
cried over a dead person belonging to my family and I want to compensate her for that crying" The
Prophet did not say anything in reply and she left and returned. None of those women abided by her
pledge except Um Sulaim, Um Al-`Ala', and the daughter of Abi Sabra, the wife of Al-Mu`adh or the
daughter of Abi Sabra, and the wife of Mu`adh.
