۞
Imam Javad (a.s) said: “When the women wanted to swear allegiance to the Prophet of God (a.s), he would put his hand in a pan of water and they would immerse their hands in the same pan of water. This is how they expressed their faith in God, and acknowledged His Prophet, and accepted the religious laws of Islam.:
عن أبي جعفر الثاني قال
كانت مبايعة رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) النساء أن غمس يده في قدح من ماء، ثم أمرهن أن يغمسن أيديهن في ذلك القدح بالإقرار والإيمان بالله والتصديق لرسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) [على] ما أخذ عليهن.
