He then named every clan of the Anṣār and the people of each quarter—Banū Sāʿida, Banū Jusham, Banū Najjār, Banū ʿAmr ibn ʿAwf, Banū al-Nabīt—
until he said:
• The believers shall not leave anyone among them burdened with debt; they must assist him, in fairness, with the payment of blood-money or the ransom of captives.
• No believer may enter into an alliance with the client of another believer without his consent.
• The God-fearing believers must unite against anyone of them who commits aggression or seeks, by wrongdoing, sin, hostility, or corruption, to harm the believers; all their hands are to be raised against him, even if he be the son of one of them.
• No believer shall kill a believer in retaliation for a disbeliever, nor shall he aid a disbeliever against a believer.
• The covenant of Allah is one; even the least of them may grant protection on behalf of all.
• The believers are mutual allies to the exclusion of other people.
• Whoever of the Jews follows us shall have help and parity; he shall not be wronged, nor shall anyone be supported against him.
• The peace of the believers is one; no believer may conclude peace apart from another believer when engaged in fighting in the path of Allah, except on equal and just terms among them.
• Every expedition that goes out with us shall take its turn.
• The believers shall assume, one for another, whatever costs are incurred for blood shed in the path of Allah.
• The God-fearing believers are upon the best and most upright guidance.
• No polytheist may grant protection—of property or life—to Quraysh, nor may he obstruct a believer in this matter.
• Whoever kills a believer deliberately and without clear proof is liable to retaliation until the guardian of the slain is satisfied; all the believers must stand against him, and they have no option but to act against him.
• It is unlawful for any believer who accepts the contents of this document and believes in Allah and the Last Day to support a wrongdoer or give him refuge; whoever supports or shelters him shall incur Allah’s curse and wrath on the Day of Resurrection, and neither compensation nor ransom will be accepted from him.
• Whatever you dispute about shall be referred to Allah—glorified is He—and to Muhammad ﷺ.
• The Jews shall contribute to the war expenditure together with the believers as long as they are engaged in warfare.
• The Jews of Banū ʿAwf are one community with the believers; the Jews have their religion and the Muslims have theirs, both their clients and themselves. Anyone who commits wrongdoing or sin harms only himself and his household.
• The Jews of Banū Najjār, Banū al-Ḥārith, Banū Sāʿida, Banū Jusham, Banū Aws, Banū Thaʿlaba, Jafna, and Banū al-Shaṭna enjoy the same rights and obligations as the Jews of Banū ʿAwf.
• The intimate associates of the Jews are as themselves.
• None of them shall go out (to war) except with permission.
