Jami at-Tirmidhi 1585 (Book 21, Hadith 47) #27195
Fulfilling Allegiances in Islam

SUMMARY: This hadith emphasizes the importance of fulfilling any allegiances made before embracing Islam, and not initiating new ones.

Narrated 'Amr bin Shu'aib: From his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah said during his Khutbah: "Fulfill the allegiances sworn in Jahiliyyah for it" - meaning Islam - "does not add to them except in gravity. And do not initiate new allegiances in Islam". He said: There are narration on this topic from 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf, Umm Salamah, Jubair bin Mut'im, Abu Hurairah, Ibn 'Abbas, and Qais bin 'Asim. Abu 'Eisa said: This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.
حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ ‏ "‏ أَوْفُوا بِحِلْفِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَزِيدُهُ يَعْنِي الإِسْلاَمَ إِلاَّ شِدَّةً وَلاَ تُحْدِثُوا حِلْفًا فِي الإِسْلاَمِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَجُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَقَيْسِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of fulfilling any allegiances made before embracing Islam. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said during a sermon that any pledges or promises made during the pre-Islamic period should be honored as they are just as important in Islamic law. He also warned against initiating new allegiances after accepting Islam as it could lead to confusion and chaos. This hadith teaches us that we should always keep our word no matter what religion we follow and that we should not make promises lightly because it is a serious matter to break them. It also reminds us to be honest with ourselves and others when making commitments so that our words can be trusted by all parties involved.
