And Harun ibn Sa'id al-Ayli and Abu al-Tahir narrated to me—Abu al-Tahir said: "He informed us," while Harun said: "Ibn Wahb narrated to us"—Malik narrated to me, from Ibn Shihab, from 'Urwah, that 'A'ishah informed him about the pledge of allegiance of the women. She said: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, never touched a woman with his hand, except that he would take her pledge. And when he took her pledge and she gave it to him, he would say: 'Go, for I have accepted your pledge.'"
