setting

Hafsa narrated on the authority of Umm 'Atiyya that she said

When this verse was revealed : " When believing women came to thee giving thee a pledge that they will not associate aught with Allah , and will not disobey thee in good" (lx. 12) , she (Umm Atiyya) said : In (this pledge) was also included wailing. I said : Messenger of Allah , except members of such a tribe who helped me (in lamentation) during pre-Islamic days , there is left no alternative for me , but that I should also help them. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said : (Yes) but only in case of the members of such a tribe.
