From Ibn ʿAbbās, he said, "The earliest blood oath was in the Era of Ignorance. Some man of the tribe of Hāšim had hired another from the tribe of Qurayš, from some sub-tribe." He said, "So, he went out with him and his camel herd, and there walked up to him some other man from the tribe of Hāšim, the strap of whose duffel bag had come apart, and he said, 'Do extricate me with a hobble, lest the camels run off,' and so he gave him a hobble, that he may fasten therewith the strap of his duffel bag. When they stopped, the camels were hobbled but for only one camel. The one who had hired him thus asked, 'What is the matter with this camel? It alone, from among the camel herd, has not been hobbled', so the man said 'For it, there is no hobble, and so he said 'And where is his hobble?' 'A man from the tribe of Hāšim walked up to me,' he said, 'and the strap of his duffel bag had come apart, and he sought my aid and said, "Do extricate me with a hobble, lest the camels run off," and I gave him one.' So he dashed him with his stick, and in this was his fate."
