And whoever indulges in any one of them (except the ascription of partners to Allah) and gets the punishment in this world, that punishment will be an expiation for that sin. And if one indulges in any of them, and Allah conceals his sin, it is up to Him to forgive or punish him (in the Hereafter)." 'Ubada bin As-Samit added: "So we swore allegiance for these."

24.  Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit: "Allah's Apostle went out to inform the people about the (date of the) night of decree (Al-Qadr) but there happened a quarrel between two Muslim men.

Now look for it in the 7th, the 9th and the 5th (of the last 10 nights of the month of Ramadan)."

25.  Narrated By 'Umar bin Al-Khattab : Allah's Apostle said, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intention and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended.

26.  Narrated By Jarir bin Abdullah : I gave the pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle for the following:Offer prayers perfectly.Pay the Zakat. (obligatory charity).And be sincere and true to every Muslim.

27.  Narrated By Ziyad bin'Ilaqa : I heard Jarir bin 'Abdullah (Praising Allah). On the day when Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba died, he (Jarir) got up (on the pulpit) and thanked and praised Allah and said, "Be afraid of Allah alone Who has none along with Him to be worshipped.(You should) be calm and quiet till the (new) chief comes to you and he will come to you soon. Ask Allah's forgiveness for your (late) chief because he himself loved to forgive others." Jarir added, "Amma badu (now then), I went to the Prophet and said, 'I give my pledge of allegiance to you for Islam." The Prophet conditioned (my pledge) for me to be sincere and true to every Muslim so I gave my pledge to him for this. By the Lord of this mosque! I am sincere and true to you (Muslims). Then Jarir asked for Allah's forgiveness and came down (from the pulpit).
