When Al-Abbas, the uncle of the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) realized the
Prophet's inclination he became concerned for his safety and reminded him that at least
in Mecca his family loved and honored him, and that they had always stood by him
against his enemies.
On account of his concern, Al-Abbas turned to the party from Yathrib and asked, "If he
inclines to live with you, will you support him with your life and body? If you cannot, tell
me." Bara turned and said, "We have been born and raised as warriors". Just then Abu
Al Haitham interjected saying, "O Prophet of Allah (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) we are
on good terms with the Jews, after this pledge we shall have to break from them. Is it
possible that you may leave us to return to your own City when your authority is
realized?" The Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) smiled reassuringly and said, "No,
my blood is your blood. In life and death I will be with you and you with me, you are mine
and I am yours."
Ka’b then spoke saying, “We have heard your words O Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu
alihi wa sallam) and it is for you to speak and take from us any pledge you like regarding
your Lord and yourself.” Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam)
recited verses from the Koran and spoke to them about belief then told them their pledge
