Aisha told me, "Allah's Apostle (SAW) used to examine them according to this Verse: "O you who believe! When the believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them.... (up to)... Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (60.10-12) Aisha said, "When any of them agreed to that condition Allah's Apostle (SAW) would say to her, 'I have accepted your pledge of Baia (pledge).' He would only say that, but, by Allah he never touched the hand of any women (i.e. never shook hands with them) while taking the Baia (allegiance) and he never took their Baia (pledge) except by his words (only)."

When I gave the Baia (pledge of allegiance) to Allah's Apostle (SAW), he stipulated that I should should be sincere and true to every Muslim.

I gave the pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle (SAW) for offering the prayers perfectly paying the Zakat and giving good advice to every Muslim.

Aisha told me that Barira came to seek her help in writing for emancipation and at that time she had not paid any part of her price. Aisha said to her, "Go to your masters and if they agree that I will pay your price (and free you) on condition that your Wala will be for me, I will pay the money." Barira told her masters about that, but they refused, and said, "If Aisha wants to do a favour she could, but your Wala will be for us." Aisha informed Allah's Apostle (SAW) of that and he said to her, "Buy and manumit Barira as the Wala' will go to the manumitted."

Az-Zubair told me that he quarrelled with an Ansari man who had participated in (the battle of) Badr in front of Allah's Apostle (SAW) about a water stream which both of them used for irrigation. Allah's Apostle (SAW) said to Az-Zubair, "O Zubair! Irrigate (your garden) first, and then let the water flow to your neighbour." The Ansari became angry and said, "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! Is it because he is your cousin?" On that the complexion of Allah's Apostle (SAW) changed (because of anger) and said (to Az-Zubair), "Irrigate (your garden) and then withhold the water till it reaches the walls (surrounding the palms)." So, Allah's Apostle (SAW) gave Az-Zubair his full right. Before that Allah's Apostle (SAW) had given a generous judgment beneficial for Az-Zubair and the Ansari, but when the Ansari irritated Allah's Apostle (SAW) he gave Az-Zubair his full right according to the evident law. Az-Zubair said, "By Allah! I think the following Verse was revealed concerning that case: "But no by your Lord They can have No faith Until they make you judge In all disputes between them...." (4.65)

My father died and was in debt. I suggested that his creditors take the fruits (i.e. dates) of my garden in lieu of the debt of my father, but they refused the offer, as they thought that it would not cover the full debt. So, I went to the Prophet (SAW) and told him about it. He said (to me), "When you pluck the dates and collect them in the Mirbad (i.e. a place where dates are dried), call me (Allah's Apostle (SAW))." Finally he came accompanied by Abu Bakr and Umar and sat on the dates and invoked Allah to bless them. Then he said, "Call your creditors and give them their full rights." So, I paid all my father's creditors in full and yet thirteen extra Wasqs of dates remained, seven of which were Ajwa and six were Laun or six of which were Ajwa and seven were Laun. I met Allah's Apostle (SAW) at sunset and informed him about it. On that he smiled and said, "Go to Abu Bakr and Umar and tell them about it." They said, "We perceived that was going to happen, as Allah's Apostle (SAW) did what he did."
