Al año siguiente, doce personas de Madinah acudieron al Hajj y se reunieron con el Mensajero de Allah ﷺ en al-‘Aqabah, donde le prestaron el primer juramento de al-‘Aqabah. Se comprometieron a no asociar nada con Allah, a no robar, a no cometer fornicación ni adulterio, a no matar a sus hijos, a no calumniar a su vecino y a no desobedecer al Mensajero de Allah ﷺ. Si cumplían esto, el Paraíso sería suyo, pero si cometían alguno de aquellos pecados, quedaba en manos de Allah (SWT) castigarles o perdonarles según Su voluntad. Una vez prestado el juramento y terminada la temporada del Hajj, regresaron a Madinah.

In the following year, twelve people from Madinah attended the Hajj and met with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) at al-‘Aqabah where they gave him the first pledge of al-‘Aqabah. They pledged to associate none with Allah, that they should not steal, neither commit fornication nor adultery, nor kill their offspring, and that they should not slander their neighbor, nor disobey the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). If they fulfilled this, Jannah would be theirs, but if they committed any of those sins, it was for Allah (swt) to punish or forgive as He I pleased. Once they had delivered their pledge and the Hajj season was over they returned to Madinah.
