Sahih al-Bukhari 7214
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُبَايِعُ النِّسَاءَ بِالْكَلاَمِ بِهَذِهِ الآيَةِ {لاَ يُشْرِكْنَ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا} قَالَتْ وَمَا مَسَّتْ يَدُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَدَ امْرَأَةٍ، إِلاَّ امْرَأَةً يَمْلِكُهَا.
ʿĀʾisha said: The Prophet accepted women’s pledges by speaking, using this verse: “They will not associate anything with God.” She said, “The Messenger of God’s hand never touched the hand of a woman, except a woman under his ownership.”
Translation notes
The source contrasts the verbal pledge with physical contact and says the Prophet’s hand did not touch a woman’s hand except that of a woman under his ownership.
