Sayyiduna Jubair bin Mut’im (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“There is no significance of alliances (ḥilf) in Islam, and the alliance that existed in the time of ignorance, Islam has only intensified its strictness.”(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) This narration was heard by Sa’d bin Ibrahim from his father, from Sayyiduna Jubair (may Allah be pleased with him), and he heard this narration from Nafi’ bin Jubair from his father, so both its chains are preserved.
