It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Amr Ansari that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, took a pledge from us at the base of the valley on the Day of Sacrifice, and we were seventy in number... Hazrat Uqbah says: I was the youngest among them... Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came to us and said, "Keep the conversation brief because I fear the disbelievers of Quraysh for you." The narrator says: We said, "O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon you! Ask us about your Lord, and ask us anything about yourself, and ask us anything about your companions, and also tell us what reward is obligatory for us from Allah and from you." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I ask you about my Lord that you believe in Him and do not associate anything with Him, and I ask you about myself that you obey me and I will guide you to the path of guidance. And I ask you about my companions that you show kindness to them with your wealth, and that you withhold from us those things which you withhold from yourselves. So when you do these things, then Paradise is obligatory for you from Allah and from me." The narrator says: So we stretched out our hands and pledged allegiance to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
