Umm 'Atiyyah (May Allah be pleased with her) said:
At the time of giving the pledge of allegiance, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took from us an oath that we would not wail. <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن أم عطية نَُسيبة -بضم النون وفتحها- رضي الله عنها قالت : أخذ علينا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عند البيعة أن لا ننوح. ((متفق عليه)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) Wailing is one of the manners of the pre-Islamic era of ignorance, which a Muslim should get rid of as soon as he embraces Islam.<br>
2) It describes the pledge of allegiance taken by the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) from women, as he stipulated that they should abandon the habits of the pre-Islamic era.
