(Book 55, Hadith 2) #36854
Mercy of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the women who took an oath of allegiance to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and promised not to commit certain sins. The Prophet (PBUH) accepted their pledge and showed mercy towards them.

Malik related to me from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir that Umayma bint Ruqayqa said, "I went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, with the women who took an oath of allegiance with him in Islam. They said, 'Messenger of Allah! We take a pledge with you not to associate anything with Allah, not to steal, not to commit adultery, not to kill our children, nor to produce any lie that we have devised between our hands and feet, and not to disobey you in what is known'. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'In what you can do and are able'. " Umayma continued, "They said, 'Allah and His Messenger are more merciful to us than ourselves. Come, let us give our hands to you, Messenger of Allah!' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'I do not shake hands with women. My word to a hundred women is like my word to one woman'. "
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ أُمَيْمَةَ بِنْتِ رُقَيْقَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي نِسْوَةٍ بَايَعْنَهُ عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ فَقُلْنَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نُبَايِعُكَ عَلَى أَنْ لاَ نُشْرِكَ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَلاَ نَسْرِقَ وَلاَ نَزْنِيَ وَلاَ نَقْتُلَ أَوْلاَدَنَا وَلاَ نَأْتِيَ بِبُهْتَانٍ نَفْتَرِيهِ بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا وَأَرْجُلِنَا وَلاَ نَعْصِيَكَ فِي مَعْرُوفٍ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏"‏ فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُنَّ وَأَطَقْتُنَّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَقُلْنَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَرْحَمُ بِنَا مِنْ أَنْفُسِنَا هَلُمَّ نُبَايِعْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏"‏ إِنِّي لاَ أُصَافِحُ النِّسَاءَ إِنَّمَا قَوْلِي لِمِائَةِ امْرَأَةٍ كَقَوْلِي لاِمْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ أَوْ مِثْلِ قَوْلِي لاِمْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the oath of allegiance taken by a group of women in Islam, promising not to associate anything with Allah, not to steal, not to commit adultery, not to kill their children, nor produce any lies between their hands and feet and also promising not to disobey Allah's commands. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) accepted their pledge but refused to shake hands with them as he did with men due his modesty. He then showed mercy towards them by saying that his word for a hundred women is like his word for one woman. This hadith teaches us that we should always keep our promises and never break our pledges no matter how difficult it may seem at times; it also shows us how merciful the Prophet was towards others even when they were in need or asking for help. Furthermore, this hadith teaches us that we should always show respect towards each other regardless of gender or social status as everyone deserves equal treatment under Islam's teachings.
