Abd Allah ibn al-Mughaffal's relationship with the Prophet was defined by the Bay'at al-Ridwan — one of the most spiritually loaded acts in prophetic history. The Prophet's promise that those who gave this pledge were guaranteed against hellfire gave Abd Allah a profound inner assurance. His later life of teaching was a living extension of the covenant he made beneath that blessed tree.
