Awf bin Malik said: We were with Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, seven or eight or nine. He said: Do you take the oath of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, and we shortly took the oath of allegiance. We said: we have already taken the oath of allegiance to you. He repeated the same words three times. We then stretched our hands and took the oath of allegiance to him. A man (or us) said: We took the oath of allegiance to you; now on what should we take the oath of allegiance, Messenger of Allah ? He replied: That you should worship Allah, do not associate anything with Him, offer five times prayer, listen and obey. He uttered a word quietly: And do not beg from the people. When the whip fell on the ground, none of that group asked anyone to pick up the whip for him. Abu Dawud said: The version of Hisham was not narrated by anyone except Saeed.
