5- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ لَمَّا فَتَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَكَّةَ بَايَعَ الرِّجَالَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ النِّسَاءُ يُبَايِعْنَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذا جاءَكَ الْمُؤْمِناتُ يُبايِعْنَكَ عَلى أَنْ لا يُشْرِكْنَ بِاللهِ شَيْئاً وَلا يَسْرِقْنَ وَلا يَزْنِينَ وَلا يَقْتُلْنَ أَوْلادَهُنَّ وَلا يَأْتِينَ بِبُهْتانٍ يَفْتَرِينَهُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِنَّ وَأَرْجُلِهِنَّ وَلا يَعْصِينَكَ فِي مَعْرُوفٍ فَبايِعْهُنَّ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُنَّ اللهَ إِنَّ اللهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ فَقَالَتْ هِنْدٌ أَمَّا الْوَلَدُ فَقَدْ رَبَّيْنَا صِغَاراً وَقَتَلْتَهُمْ كِبَاراً وَقَالَتْ أُمُّ حَكِيمٍ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ وَكَانَتْ عِنْدَ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ أَبِي جَهْلٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا ذَلِكَ الْمَعْرُوفُ الَّذِي أَمَرَنَا اللهُ أَنْ لا نَعْصِيَنَّكَ فِيهِ قَالَ لا تَلْطِمْنَ خَدّاً وَلا تَخْمِشْنَ وَجْهاً وَلا تَنْتِفْنَ شَعْراً وَلا تَشْقُقْنَ جَيْباً وَلا تُسَوِّدْنَ ثَوْباً وَلا تَدْعِينَ بِوَيْلٍ فَبَايَعَهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى هَذَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ نُبَايِعُكَ قَالَ إِنَّنِي لا أُصَافِحُ النِّسَاءَ فَدَعَا بِقَدَحٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهَا فَقَالَ أَدْخِلْنَ أَيْدِيَكُنَّ فِي هَذَا الْمَاءِ فَهِيَ الْبَيْعَةُ.
5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Aban from Abu ‘Abdillah who said: “When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ liberated Makkah, men pledged allegiance; then women came to pledge allegiance; and Allah, most Majestic and most Glorious, said, ‘O Prophet, when believing women come to pledge allegiance with you not to call anything as partner of Allah, not to steal, not to commit fornication, not to kill their children, not to accuse falsely of their own making, must not disobey you in lawful matters, then pledge allegiance with them and ask forgiveness from Allah for them, Allah is forgiving and merciful.’ (60:13) Hind then said, ‘We brought up children from the time they were infants but you killed them when they grew up.’ Umm Hakim daughter of al-Harith ibn Hisham, wife of ‘Ikramah ibn abu Jahl asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, what is that ‘lawful matters’ that Allah has commanded us not to disobey you? He (the Messenger of Allah) replied, ‘You must not slap any face, abrade it, pull out any hair, tear apart front part of a shirt, blacken clothes and you must not cry ‘woe is me’.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ pledged allegiance with them on this and then she said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, how can we pledge allegiance to you?’ He (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘I do not place my hand in the hands of women.’ He (the Messenger of Allah) then asked for a bowl of water and immersed his hand in it and then moved it and told them to immerse their hands in the bowl and that was pledging allegiance.’”
