Arabic vocabulary
بَايَع is how you say “pledge allegiance” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
ومن بايع إماماً فأعطاه صفقة يده، وثمرة قلبه، فليطعه إن استطاع،
And whoever gives allegiance to an Imam, giving him a handshake and sincerity of his heart, let him obey him if he is able,
بَايَعَ — gives allegiance. A past-tense verb in the mutual pattern, 'he pledged allegiance', with 'he' built in, serving as the condition tied to 'whoever'. The reciprocal pattern fits a two-sided pledge between the giver and the leader; in this conditional frame the past shape reads generally.
