Keyingi yili Madinadan o'n ikki kishi hajga keldi va al-'Aqabada Allahning Elchisi ﷺ bilan uchrashib, u zotga birinchi al-'Aqaba bay'atini berdilar. Ular Allohga hech narsani sherik qilmaslik, o'g'irlik qilmaslik, zino va fahshoga yaqinlashmaslik, farzandlarini o'ldirmaslik, qo'shnilariga bo'hton qilmaslik va Allohning Elchisi ﷺ ga itoatsizlik qilmaslik ustida bay'at qildilar. Agar buni ado etsalar, ularga Jannat bo'lishi, agar o'sha gunohlardan birortasini qilsalar, uni jazolash yoki kechirish Allohning (SWT) ixtiyorida ekani aytildi. Bay'atni berib bo'lgach va haj mavsumi tugagach, ular Madinaga qaytdilar.

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.
