It is narrated from Sayyidah Fatimah bint Utbah bin Rabi'ah that Sayyiduna Abu Hudhayfah bin Utbah brought her and Hind bint Utbah to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to pledge allegiance. She (Fatimah) said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) took a covenant from us and laid certain conditions upon us. She (Fatimah) said: I said to him (Abu Hudhayfah): O my cousin, have you found any trace of these faults or evils among your people? Abu Hudhayfah said: Enough, be quiet and pledge allegiance, for it is on these very things that allegiance is taken, and these are the conditions that are laid. Then Hind said: I will not pledge allegiance to you on (not) stealing, for I take (what I need) from my husband's wealth. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) withdrew his hand and she also withdrew her hand, until he (peace and blessings be upon him) sent word to Abu Sufyan and sought his permission for her. Abu Sufyan said: As for fresh things (food and drink), they are permitted, but dry things (goods and property), absolutely not. She said: Then we pledged allegiance to him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then Fatimah said: (Before,) there was no group more hateful to me than your group, nor did I wish that Allah would give you and your companions dominance; but by Allah, now there is no group dearer to me than your group, that Allah may keep it flourishing and bless it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And this is only the beginning. By Allah, none of you can be a complete believer until I am dearer to him than his children and his father." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
