I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ among a group of women who were pledging allegiance to him on Islam. They said, "Messenger of Allah, we pledge to you that we will not associate anything with Allah, nor steal, nor commit adultery, nor kill our children, nor bring forth slander that we have fabricated between our hands and feet, nor disobey you in what is right."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "In what you are able and capable of."She said, the women replied, "Allah and His Messenger are more merciful to us than we are to ourselves. Come, let us give you our pledge, Messenger of Allah."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I do not shake hands with women. My word to a hundred women is like my word to a single woman," or, "is the same as my word to a single woman."
أتيت رسول الله ﷺ في نسوة بايعنه على الإسلام فقلن: يا رسول الله نبايعك على أن لا نشرك بالله شيئا، ولا نسرق، ولا نزني، ولا نقتل أولادنا، ولا نأتي ببهتان نفتريه بين أيدينا وأرجلنا، ولا نعصيك في معروف، فقال رسول الله ﷺ فيما استطعتن وأطقتن قالت: فقلن: الله ورسوله أرحم بنا من أنفسنا، هلم نبايعك يا رسول الله فقال رسول الله ﷺ: إني لا أصافح النساء إنما قولي لمائة امرأة كقولي لامرأة واحدة أو مثل قولي لامرأة واحدة.
Malik narrated it in the chapter on the pledge (2), from Muhammad bin Munkadir, from Umaymah bint Ruqayqah, and he mentioned it, and its chain is sahih. Tirmidhi (1597), Nasai (4181), Ibn Majah (2874), Ahmad (27019), Ibn Hibban (4553), and Hakim (4/71) all narrated it through various routes from Muhammad bin Munkadir with the same wording. Tirmidhi said, "This is a hasan sahih hadith, we do not know it except through the hadith of Muhammad bin Munkadir."
