Al-Kafi 10222

Translation

Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Ahmad Bin Is’haq, from Sa’dan Bin Muslim who said, ‘Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘Do you know how Rasool-Allah^saww accepted the allegiances of the women?’ I said, ‘Allah^azwj Knows and the son^asws of His^azwj Rasool^saww knows’. He^asws said: ‘He^saww gathered them around him^saww, then called for a <span class="iTxt">Baram</span> bowl, so he^saww poured a little water into it, then immersed his^saww hand in it, then said: ‘Listen all of you! You are pledging allegiance upon a stipulation that you will not be associating anything with Allah^azwj, nor would you be stealing, nor committing adultery, nor kill your children, nor be coming with false accusations forged by your hands and your feet, and you will not be disobeying your husbands regarding the good. Do you agree?’ They said, ‘Yes’. So he^saww extracted his^sawwhand from the bowl, then said to them: ‘Immerse your hands’. So they did it. So the hand of Rasool-Allah^saww was the pure, the good, from it having been touched by the palm of a female who had no sanctity with him^saww’.
