It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ubādah bin Sāmit (may Allah be pleased with him) that we pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that we would listen and obey whether in ease or in hardship, whether we are pleased or displeased, and that we would not fight against the rulers. Wherever we may be, we will speak the truth and remain steadfast upon it. We will not fear the blame of any blamer regarding Allah.
