I came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) with some women to pledge allegiance to him. They said: We pledge allegiance to you, O Messenger of Allah, that we will not associate anything with Allah, nor steal, nor commit adultery, nor kill our children, nor come up with a slander that we have deliberately forged, nor disobey you in what is good. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: For as much as you can and are capable of. I said: Allah and his Messenger (PBUH) are more merciful to us than we are to ourselves. Come on, let us pledge allegiance to you, O Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah said: I do not shake hands with women. My words to a hundred women are the same as my words to one, or are like my words to one woman.
