1987 4 April 26 Surrendering to God, and wishing others well (70) Jarir came to embrace Islam. The Prophet asked him to extend his hand for the oath of allegiance. “Allegiance on what?” Jarir asked. “That you will surrender to God, and wish every Muslim well.” He then swore allegiance to the prophet.
