Aḥmad ibn ʿAmr ibn al-Sarḥ al-Miṣrī narrated to us: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Wahb narrated to us, saying: Yūnus informed me, from Ibn Shihāb: ʿUrwah ibn al-Zubayr informed me that ʿĀʾishah, wife of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When believing women emigrated to the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, they were tested by the words of God: “O Prophet, when believing women come to you pledging allegiance...” through the end of the verse. ʿĀʾishah said: Any believing woman who affirmed these terms had passed the test. When they affirmed them in their speech, the Messenger of God would say to them: “Go, for I have accepted your pledge.” No, by God, the hand of the Messenger of God never touched the hand of a woman; rather, he accepted their pledge through speech. ʿĀʾishah said: By God, the Messenger of God required nothing of the women beyond what God had commanded him, and the palm of his hand never touched the palm of a woman. When he accepted their pledge, he would say to them in words: “I have accepted your pledge.”
