# Yathrib pledges at Aqaba bind some Aws and Khazraj to Muhammad as later dated

Date: 621

## The fact

Around 621–622 CE later sira dates the Aqaba pledges by some Aws and Khazraj to Muhammad. They are received political oaths, not a written constitution. Muhammad's documented role is: He received pledges from Yathrib men at Aqaba. The tribes pledged; he did not yet govern a town.

## Context

Yathrib had feud problems the pledges promised to settle. Sharing the oath with the named tribal groups is required. Hijra follows as a different row. The setting of Yathrib pledges at Aqaba bind some Aws and Khazraj to Muhammad as later dated is the public file around 0621-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [democratic-resilience](/drivers/democratic-resilience) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not treat Aqaba as the Constitution of Medina. Mixed effects of Yathrib pledges at Aqaba bind some Aws and Khazraj to Muhammad as later dated are separate paths.
