[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , there were nine or eight or seven of us. He said, "Do you not give allegiance to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ?" He repeated it three times. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have already given you allegiance, so why should we give you allegiance again?" He said, "To worship Allah alone and not associate anything with Him, to establish the five daily prayers, and to keep confidential matters secret without asking people about them."

We, nine, eight or seven men, were in the company of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said: Why don't you pledge allegiance to the Messenger of Allah? -while we had recently pledged allegiance. So we said: Messenger of Allah, we have already pledged allegiance to you. He again said: Why don't you pledge allegiance to the Messenger of Allah? And we said: Messenger of Allah, we have already pledged allegiance to you. He again said: Why don't you pledge allegiance to the Messenger of Allah? We stretched our hands and said: Messenger of Allah. we have already pledged allegiance to you. Now tell (on what things) should we pledge allegiance to you. He said I (You must pledge allegiance) that you would worship Allah only and would not associate with Him anything, (and observe) five prayers, and obey- (and he said onething in an undertone) -that you would not beg people of anything. (And as a consequence of that) I saw that some of these people did not ask anyone to pick up the whip for them if it fell down.

We were with Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him), seven or eight or nine. He said : Do you take the oath of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him), and we shortly took the oath of allegiance. We said: we have already taken the oath of allegiance to you. He repeated the same words three times. We then stretched our hands and took the oath of allegiance to him. A man (or us) said : We took the oath of allegiance to you; now on what should we take the oath of allegiance, Messenger of Allah ? He replied: That you should worship Allah, do not associate anything with Him, offer five times prayer, listen and obey. He uttered a word quietly : And do not beg from the people. When the whip fell on the ground, none of that group asked anyone to pick up the whip for him. Abu Dawud said : The version of Hisham was not narrated by anyone except Sa'id.

They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have already pledged allegiance to you once, so what will we pledge allegiance to you for?" He said, "Pledge allegiance to me that you will not associate anything with Allah, establish prayer, pay the zakat, and then he added softly, "And that you will not ask the people for anything."
