Jami at-Tirmidhi 2203 (Book 33, Hadith 46) #27836
Keeping Promises and Respecting Covenants

SUMMARY: Ali bin Abi Talib asked Uhban bin Safi Al-Ghifari to join him in a fight, but Uhban refused due to a covenant he had made with someone else.

'Udaisah bint Uhban bin Safi Al-Ghifari said: "Ali bin Abi Talib came to my father to call him to go out(to fight) with him. My father said to him: 'Indeed my beloved, the son of your paternal uncle, made a covenant with me, that when the people differ, to take a sword of wood. So I have resigned it, if you wish I will take it out with you'. She said: 'So he left him"'.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ عُدَيْسَةَ بِنْتِ أُهْبَانَ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ الْغِفَارِيِّ، قَالَتْ جَاءَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ إِلَى أَبِي فَدَعَاهُ إِلَى الْخُرُوجِ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي إِنَّ خَلِيلِي وَابْنَ عَمِّكَ عَهِدَ إِلَىَّ إِذَا اخْتَلَفَ النَّاسُ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ سَيْفًا مِنْ خَشَبٍ فَقَدِ اتَّخَذْتُهُ فَإِنْ شِئْتَ خَرَجْتُ بِهِ مَعَكَ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَتَرَكَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ ‏.‏ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ

QUICK LESSONS:
Keep your promises & respect your covenants
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of keeping promises and respecting covenants. It is narrated by Udaisah bint Uhban bin Safi Al-Ghifari that her father was asked by Ali bin Abi Talib to join him in a fight. However, her father refused as he had made a covenant with someone else that when people differ he would take out a sword of wood instead of joining the fight. This shows us how important it is for Muslims to keep their promises and respect their covenants even if it means not doing something they want or feel obligated to do. It also teaches us the importance of being honest and trustworthy in our dealings with others so that we can maintain strong relationships based on mutual trust and respect.
