Qatada told me that when the people came together to plight their faith to the apostle, ·al-'Abbas b, 'Ubada b, Nadla al-Ansari, brother of B. Salim b. 'Auf, said, 'O men of Khazraj, do you realize to what you are committing yourselves in pledging your support to this man? It is to war against all and sundry. If you think that if you lose your property and your nobles are killed you will give him up, then do so now, for it would bring you shame in this world and the next (If you did so later); but if you think that you will be loyal to your undertaking if you

lose your property and your nobles are killed, then take him, for by God it will profit you in this world and the next.' They said that they would accept the apostle on. these conditions. But they asked what they would get in return for their loyalty, and the apostle promised them paradise. They said, stretch forth your hand,' and when he did so they pledged their word, Asim added that al-'Abbas said that only to bind the obligation more securely on them, 'Abdullah b. Abu Bakr said that he said it merely to keep the people back that night, hoping that 'Abdullah b. Ubayy b. Salul would come and so give more weight to his people's support. But God knows best which is right.}}

'If you die or are slain,' whichever it may be, 'surely to God will you be gathered,' i.e. to God you must return. Let not the world deceive you and be not deceived by it. Let fighting and the reward which God holds out to you have more weight with you than that.}}

'Auf to make his preparations for the expedition, In the morning he wore a black turban of cotton. The apostle told him to approach and unwound it and then rewound It leaving four fingers or so loose behind him, saying, "Turban yourself thus, Ibn 'Auf, for thus it is better and neater." Then he ordered Bilal to give him the standard and he did so. Then he gave praise to God and prayed for himself. He then said, "Take it, Ibn 'Auf; fight everyone in the way of God and kill those who disbelieve in God. Do not be deceitful with the spoil; do not be treacherous, nor mutilate, nor kill children. This is God's ordinance and the practice of his prophet among you." Thereupon 'Abdu'l-Rahman took the standard'.}}
