(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him), who was one of the Nuqaba, he says: We pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to fight. Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit was among those twelve individuals who pledged allegiance at the First ‘Aqaba on those matters upon which women would pledge allegiance. The pledge was that we would listen to and obey the Khalifah in hardship and ease, in pleasure and displeasure, and we would not dispute the authority of those who are worthy of leadership, we would speak the truth wherever it may be, and we would not fear the blame of any blamer in the matter of Allah Almighty.
