Stand up for justice, avoid taking oaths on unbelief .

This hadith is about a pledge taken by the Quraish and Banu Kinanah against two tribes, namely, the tribe of Hashim and Muttalib. They took an oath that they would not marry or do any transactions with these two tribes until they deliver Allah's Messenger to them. This pledge was taken at a place called Muhassab which was located near Mina. The essence of this hadith is that one should never take an oath on unbelief as it goes against Islamic teachings. It also teaches us that we should always stand up for justice no matter what it takes even if it means going against powerful people in society.
