According to the [[Quran 48]]:10, to pledge one's allegiance to the Prophet (s) is to pledge one's allegiance to God. However, this verse mentions the great loss for people who break their pledges, and takes the biggest rewards to belong to people who remain allegiant to the Prophet (s). | According to the [[Quran 48]]:10, to pledge one's allegiance to the Prophet (s) is to pledge one's allegiance to God.

|اِنَّ الَّذینَ یبایعُونَکَ اِنَّما یبایعونَ اللّهَ یدُ اللّهِ فَوقَ اَیدیهِم فَمَن نَکَثَ فَاِنَّما ینکُثُ عَلی نَفسِهِ ومَن اَوفی بِما عهَدَ عَلَیهُ اللّهَ فَسَیؤتیهِ اَجرًا عَظیماً | |||
|Indeed those who swear allegiance to you, swear allegiance only to Allah: the hand of Allah is above their hands. So whosoever breaks his oath, breaks it only to his own detriment, and whoever fulfills the covenant he has made with Allah, He will give him a great reward. | |||

Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani (a prominent Sunni scholar) quotes 'Ala' b. Musayyib quoting his father as saying that he met [[Bara' b. 'Azib]] and told him: "Good for you! You were with the Prophet (s) and pledged your allegiance to him under the tree." But he said: "O the son of my brother! You do not know what [wrong] we did after that." | Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani (a prominent Sunni scholar) quotes 'Ala' b. Musayyib quoting his father as saying that he met [[Bara' b.
