THE PAGANS AND THE TAKING PLEDGE FROM WOMEN AL BUKHARI Volume 7, Book 63, Number 210: Narrated Ibn Abbas: The pagans were of two kinds as regards their relationship to the Prophet salalahu alaihi wasalam and the Believers. Some of them were those with whom the Prophet salalahu alaihi wasalam was at war and used to fight against, and they used to fight him; the others were those with whom the Prophet salalahu alaihi wasalam made a treaty, and neither did the Prophet salalahu alaihi wasalam fight them, nor did they fight him. If a lady from the first group of pagans emigrated towards the Muslims, her hand would not be asked in marriage unless she got the menses and then became clean. When she became clean, it would be lawful for her to get married, and if her husband emigrated too before she got married, then she would be returned to him. If any slave or female slave emigrated from them to the Muslims, then they would be considered free persons (not slaves) and they would have the same rights as given to other emigrants. The narrator then mentioned about the pagans involved with the Muslims in a treaty, the same as occurs in Mujahids narration. If a male slave or a female slave emigrated from such pagans as had made a treaty with the Muslims, they would not be returned, but their prices would be paid (to the pagans). Narrated Ibn Abbas: Qariba, the daughter of Abi Umaiyya, was the wife of Umar bin Al-Khattab. Umar divorced her and then Muawiyya bin Abi Sufyan married her. Similarly, Um Al-Hakam, the daughter of Abi Sufyan was the wife of Iyad bin Ghanm Al-Fihri. He divorced her and then Abdullah bin Uthman Al-Thaqafi married her. AL BUKHARI Volume 7, Book 63, Number 211: Narrated Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet salalahu alaihi wasalam ) When believing women came to the Prophet salalahu alaihi wasalam as emigrants, he used to test them in accordance with the order of Allah. O you who believe! When believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them . . . (60.10) So if anyone of those believing women accepted the above mentioned conditions, she accepted the conditions of faith. When they agreed on those conditions and confessed that with their tongues, Allahs Apostle salalahu alaihi wasalam would say to them, Go, I have accepted your oath of allegiance (for Islam). By Allah, and hand of Allahs Apostle salalahu alaihi wasalam never touched the hand of any woman, but he only used to take their pledge of allegiance orally. By Allah, Allahs Apostle salalahu alaihi wasalam did not take the pledge of allegiance of the women except in accordance with what Allah had ordered him. When he accepted their pledge of allegiance he would say to them, I have accepted your oath of allegiance.
