When believing women come To thee to take the oath Of fealty to thee, that they Will not associate in worship Any other thing whatever With God, that they Will not steal, that they Will not commit adultery (Or fornication), that they Will not kill their children, That they will not utter Slander, intentionally forging Falsehood, and that they Will not disobey thee In any just matter, Then do thou receive Their fealty, and pray to God For the forgiveness (of Their sins): for God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
