"See you not (O Muhammad sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) that Allaah, He it is Whom glorify whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, and the birds with wings out-spread (in their flight), Of each one He (Allaah) knows indeed his Salaat (prayer) and his glorification, [or everyone knows his Salaat (prayer) and his glorification], and Allaah is All-Aware of what they do." [An-Noor (24):41]

Narrated Ziyad bin'Ilaqa:

I heard Jarir bin 'Abdullah (Praising Allah). On the day when Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba died, he (Jarir) got up (on the pulpit) and thanked and praised Allah and said, "Be afraid of Allah alone Who has none along with Him to be worshipped.(You should) be calm and quiet till the (new) chief comes to you and he will come to you soon. Ask Allah's forgiveness for your (late) chief because he himself loved to forgive others." Jarir added, "Amma badu (now then), I went to the Prophet and said, 'I give my pledge of allegiance to you for Islam." The Prophet conditioned (my pledge) for me to be sincere and true to every Muslim so I gave my pledge to him for this. By the Lord of this mosque! I am sincere and true to you (Muslims). Then Jarir asked for Allah's forgiveness and came down (from the pulpit). [The Book of Faith Volume 1, Book 2, Hadeeth 55]
