"We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) –seven or eight or nine of us – and he said: 'Will you not givepledgeto the Messenger of Allah?' So we stretched forth our handsandsomeone said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we have already given youourpledge. On what basis shall we give this pledge?' He said: '(Onthebasis that) you will worship Allah and not associate anythingwithHim, you will establish the five daily prayers, you will listenandobey' – then he spoke some words under his breath – 'andyou will notask the people for anything.' He said: 'I saw someof that group. Ifhe dropped his whip he would not ask anyone to pickit up for him.'" (FR)
