PACT OF BANU DHAMRA
In the name of Allah the Compassionate, the Merciful
This writing is from Allah's Prophet Muhammad (Sal Allaho Alehe
Wasallam) for Bani Dhamra.
1. These people shall have the security of life and property.
2. These people shall be helped against whoever attacks them.
3. It shall be binding on these people always to help the
Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam) and whenever the Prophet of Allah sends for
their help, they shall give help, but assistance in religious wars shall not be
essential.
4. As long as these people adhere to the pact, they shall be
assisted.
5. Allah and His Prophet have a responsibility in this pact.
Note: A number of such pacts were concluded with the tribes living
close to Bani Dhamra. Details could be seen in the Tabar Ibne S'ad -- vol, 3,
p. 24. The following pact with Bani Zur'a and Bani Rab'a of Juhaina is of the
similar nature.
FOR BANI ZUR'A AND BANI RAB'A
1. The life and property of Bani Zur'a and Bani Rab'a shall
have security and peace.
2. Bani Zur'a and Bani Rab'a shall be assisted against any person
who invades them.
3. But there shall be no interference in their internal
conflicts.
4. The pious and God-fearing people living in the vicinity of
these tribes shall have the same rights to which the people of these tribes are
entitled.
