Awf bin Malik said: We were with Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, seven or eight or nine. He said: Do you take the oath of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, and we shortly took the oath of allegiance. We said: we have already taken the oath of allegiance to you. He repeated the same words three times. We then stretched our hands and took the oath of allegiance to him.

I said: I did only for Allah’s sake, and my reward will come from Allah.
