It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), it was said to Shareek: Did he narrate from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: Yes, there is no covenant or pact in Islam (i.e., such an agreement in which one would help in both oppression and truth), and the covenants and pacts that existed in the time of ignorance—Islam has made them more strict and serious.
