Sahih al-Bukhari 6784 (Book 86, Hadith 13) #6526
The Power of Fulfilling One's Pledge

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of fulfilling one's pledge to Allah and the consequences of not doing so.

Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit: We were with the Prophet ﷺ in a gathering and he said, 'Swear allegiance to me that you will not worship anything besides Allah, Will not steal, and will not commit illegal sexual intercourse". And then (the Prophet) recited the whole Verse (ie 60:12). The Prophet ﷺ added, 'And whoever among you fulfills his pledge, his reward is with Allah; and whoever commits something of such sins and receives the legal punishment for it, that will be considered as the expiation for that sin, and whoever commits something of such sins and Allah screens him, it is up to Allah whether to excuse or punish him".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلاَنِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي مَجْلِسٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ بَايِعُونِي عَلَى أَنْ لاَ تُشْرِكُوا بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَلاَ تَسْرِقُوا، وَلاَ تَزْنُوا ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَرَأَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ كُلَّهَا ‏"‏ فَمَنْ وَفَى مِنْكُمْ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَعُوقِبَ بِهِ، فَهْوَ كَفَّارَتُهُ، وَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا، فَسَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ، إِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Keep your promises/pledges made with God/Allah

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is teaching us about the power of fulfilling our pledges to Allah. He explains that if we fulfill our pledges, then we will be rewarded by Allah. On the other hand, if we do not fulfill our pledges and commit sins, then there are two possible outcomes; either Allah will forgive us or punish us for it. Therefore, it is important for us to take our promises seriously and strive to keep them in order to receive rewards from Allah. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us that even if we do commit sins and are punished for them in this world, it can still be seen as an expiation for those sins in the eyes of God.
