Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1709b
This narration carries the same pledge hadith through the same chain, but it adds one detail: the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم recited the verse about women, beginning with the command that they should not associate anything with Allah. The main pledge theme remains the same as the related report: staying away from shirk, zina, theft, unlawful killing, and other forbidden acts mentioned in the pledge wording. This version is useful for readers searching for the pledge hadith and women’s verse because it connects the pledge to a Qur'anic wording mentioned in the narration. The explanation should not add more than the text gives. It simply says that the verse was recited and that the pledge was tied to these acts.
What we learn from this hadith
- This version adds the recitation of the verse about women.
- The first point highlighted is not associating anything with Allah.
- The report supports the same pledge theme through the same chain.
