وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ ح وَحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَنْهَاكُمْ أَنْ تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ " . قَالَ عُمَرُ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا حَلَفْتُ بِهَا مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْهَا ذَاكِرًا وَلاَ آثِرًا . وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّي حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ كِلاَهُمَا عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ . مِثْلَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّ فِي حَدِيثِ عُقَيْلٍ مَا حَلَفْتُ بِهَا مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَنْهَى عَنْهَا وَلاَ تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهَا . وَلَمْ يَقُلْ ذَاكِرًا وَلاَ آثِرًا . وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عُمَرَ وَهُوَ يَحْلِفُ بِأَبِيهِ . بِمِثْلِ رِوَايَةِ يُونُسَ وَمَعْمَرٍ .
Salim bin Abdullah (ra) narrates from his father; he stated: I heard Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (ra) say that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Allah forbids you to swear by your fathers.” Hazrat Umar (ra) used to say: By God, since I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) forbid this, I have not sworn such an oath, neither speaking on my own account nor quoting someone else's words. In one narration it is: Since I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) forbid this, I have not sworn such an oath, nor related (anyone's) words containing such an oath. But in this narration the words “dhakiran wa la athiran” (neither on my own account nor quoting) are not there. In another narration it is that the Prophet (saw) heard Hazrat Umar (ra) swearing by his father. The rest of the narration is like the previous narration.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (saw) came upon Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (ra) in a caravan. Hazrat Umar (ra) was swearing by his father. The Messenger of Allah (saw) called out to the people: “Listen, Allah forbids you to swear by your forefathers. So whoever is to swear should swear by Allah or keep silent.”

Abdullah bin Dinar relates that he heard Hazrat Ibn Umar (ra) say that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Whoever has to swear should not swear by anyone other than Allah.” And the Quraish used to swear by their forefathers. He (saw) said: “Do not swear by your fathers.”

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ ح وَحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ حَلَفَ مِنْكُمْ فَقَالَ فِي حَلِفِهِ بِاللاَّتِ . فَلْيَقُلْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ . وَمَنْ قَالَ لِصَاحِبِهِ تَعَالَ أُقَامِرْكَ . فَلْيَتَصَدَّقْ " . وَحَدَّثَنِي سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ كِلاَهُمَا عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَحَدِيثُ مَعْمَرٍ مِثْلُ حَدِيثِ يُونُسَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ " فَلْيَتَصَدَّقْ بِشَىْءٍ " . وَفِي حَدِيثِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ " مَنْ حَلَفَ بِاللاَّتِ وَالْعُزَّى " . قَالَ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ مُسْلِمٌ هَذَا الْحَرْفُ - يَعْنِي قَوْلَهُ تَعَالَ أُقَامِرْكَ . فَلْيَتَصَدَّقْ - لاَ يَرْوِيهِ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ وَلِلزُّهْرِيِّ نَحْوٌ مِنْ تِسْعِينَ حَدِيثًا يَرْوِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لاَ يُشَارِكُهُ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ بِأَسَانِيدَ جِيَادٍ .
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra) says that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Whoever of you swears and says in his oath: ‘By Lat,’ he should say: ‘La ilaha illallah’ (there is none worthy of worship except Allah). And whoever says to his friend: ‘Come, let me gamble with you,’ he should give charity.” In one narration (instead of “fal-yatasaddaq”) the words are “fal-yatasaddaq bi shai'in” (he should give something in charity). In another narration (instead of “man halafa minkum fa qala fi hilfihi bil-Lat”) the words are “man halafa bil-Lati wal-'Uzza” (whoever swears by Lat and Uzza). Abul Husain Muslim says that these words, “ta'ala uqamirka fal-yatasaddaq” (come, let me gamble with you, he should give charity), have not been narrated by anyone other than Zuhri.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (ra) that he said: I came to the Prophet (saw) with a group of Ash'ari people; we were asking him (saw) for mounts. He (saw) said: “By Allah, I cannot give you mounts, nor do I have any (mount) on which to mount you.” He says: We stayed as long as Allah willed. Then some camels were brought to him (saw). He (saw) gave instructions that we be given three camels with white humps. When we began to leave, we said, or we said to one another: Allah will not put blessing for us in this. We came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) asking for mounts. The Holy Prophet (saw) swore that he would not give us mounts. Then he (saw) granted us mounts. So they came to the Holy Prophet (saw) and told him (saw) of this. He (saw) said: “I have not given you mounts; rather Allah has given you mounts. And by God, if Allah wills, I do not swear an oath and then see something better than it, but that I give the expiation for my oath and do that which is better.”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَرَّادٍ الأَشْعَرِيُّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ - وَتَقَارَبَا فِي اللَّفْظِ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ أَرْسَلَنِي أَصْحَابِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَسْأَلُهُ لَهُمُ الْحُمْلاَنَ إِذْ هُمْ مَعَهُ فِي جَيْشِ الْعُسْرَةِ - وَهِيَ غَزْوَةُ تَبُوكَ - فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَصْحَابِي أَرْسَلُونِي إِلَيْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ . فَقَالَ " وَاللَّهِ لاَ أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَى شَىْءٍ " . وَوَافَقْتُهُ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ وَلاَ أَشْعُرُ فَرَجَعْتُ حَزِينًا مِنْ مَنْعِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمِنْ مَخَافَةِ أَنْ يَكُونَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ وَجَدَ فِي نَفْسِهِ عَلَىَّ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِي فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمُ الَّذِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلَمْ أَلْبَثْ إِلاَّ سُوَيْعَةً إِذْ سَمِعْتُ بِلاَلاً يُنَادِي أَىْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ . فَأَجَبْتُهُ فَقَالَ أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَدْعُوكَ . فَلَمَّا أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " خُذْ هَذَيْنِ الْقَرِينَيْنِ وَهَذَيْنِ الْقَرِينَيْنِ وَهَذَيْنِ الْقَرِينَيْنِ - لِسِتَّةِ أَبْعِرَةٍ ابْتَاعَهُنَّ حِينَئِذٍ مِنْ سَعْدٍ - فَانْطَلِقْ بِهِنَّ إِلَى أَصْحَابِكَ فَقُلْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ - أَوْ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم - يَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ فَارْكَبُوهُنَّ " . قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِي بِهِنَّ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ وَلَكِنْ وَاللَّهِ لاَ أَدَعُكُمْ حَتَّى يَنْطَلِقَ مَعِي بَعْضُكُمْ إِلَى مَنْ سَمِعَ مَقَالَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ سَأَلْتُهُ لَكُمْ وَمَنْعَهُ فِي أَوَّلِ مَرَّةٍ ثُمَّ إِعْطَاءَهُ إِيَّاىَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ لاَ تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي حَدَّثْتُكُمْ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَقُلْهُ . فَقَالُوا لِي وَاللَّهِ إِنَّكَ عِنْدَنَا لَمُصَدَّقٌ وَلَنَفْعَلَنَّ مَا أَحْبَبْتَ . فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو مُوسَى بِنَفَرٍ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى أَتَوُا الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمَنْعَهُ إِيَّاهُمْ ثُمَّ إِعْطَاءَهُمْ بَعْدُ فَحَدَّثُوهُمْ بِمَا حَدَّثَهُمْ بِهِ أَبُو مُوسَى سَوَاءً .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (ra) that he said: My companions sent me to the Messenger of Allah (saw) to ask him (saw) for mounts, when they were with him (saw) in the Army of Hardship (Jaish al-Usrah), that is, the expedition of Tabuk. I submitted: O Prophet of Allah! My companions have sent me to you so that you may grant them mounts. He (saw) said: “By Allah, I cannot give you anything to ride.” I had met him (saw) while he (saw) was displeased, and I had not realised it. I went back grieved because the Messenger of Allah (saw) could not give, and also for fear that the Messenger of Allah (saw) might be displeased with me in his heart. I came back to my companions and told them what the Messenger of Allah (saw) had said. I had stayed only a short while when I heard Bilal (ra) calling me: O Abdullah bin Qais! I answered him. He said: Come to the Messenger of Allah (saw); the Holy Prophet (saw) is remembering you. When I came to the Messenger of Allah (saw), he (saw) said concerning the six camels which he (saw) had bought at that time from Sa'd (ra): “Take this pair and this pair and this pair, and take them to your companions and say that Allah,” or he said: “the Messenger of Allah (saw), gives you these mounts, and use them for riding.” Hazrat Abu Musa (ra) says: I took them to my companions and said: The Messenger of Allah (saw) has given you these to ride. But by Allah! I will not let you go until one of you goes with me to the people who heard the words of the Messenger of Allah (saw) when I asked him (saw) on your behalf, and (heard and saw) his (saw) not giving the first time and then giving to me afterwards. Do not think that I have told you something which the Messenger of Allah (saw) did not say. They said: By God, you are trustworthy in our eyes, but still we will certainly do what you (ra) wish. Then Hazrat Abu Musa (ra) set out, taking some of them with him, until they came to the people who had heard those words of the Messenger of Allah (saw), and his (saw) refusal to give to them, and then his (saw) giving to them afterwards. So those people too told them exactly the same thing that Abu Musa (ra) had told them.

Abu Qilabah says: We were with Hazrat Abu Musa (ra). He had his dining cloth spread, on which there was chicken meat. A man from the Banu Taimillah came, who was of red complexion and resembled the freed slaves. He said to him: Come. He hesitated. He said: Come, I have seen the Messenger of Allah (saw) eating this. That man said: I saw it eating something because of which I felt disgust for it, and I swore that I would not eat it. Hazrat Abu Musa (ra) said: Come, let me relate to you a hadith about this. I came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) with some people of the Ash'ari tribe; we were seeking mounts from him (saw). He (saw) said: “By Allah! I cannot give you mounts, nor do I have any (mount) to give.” We stayed for a while, as long as Allah willed. Then some camels from the spoils of war came to the Messenger of Allah (saw). He (saw) called us and gave instructions that we be given five camels with white humps. When we set off, one of us said: We did not remind the Messenger of Allah (saw) of his (saw) oath; there will be no blessing for us in them. We went back to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and submitted: O Messenger of Allah (saw)! We came to you asking for mounts, and you (saw) swore that you would not give us any mount. Then you have granted us mounts. O Messenger of Allah (saw)! Did you forget? He (saw) said: “By Allah, if Allah wills, I do not swear any oath and then see something else better than it but that I do that which is better and release myself from the oath. So go; Allah has granted you mounts.”
In another narration it is that there was a relationship of affection and brotherhood between this branch of the Jarm tribe and the Ash'aris, and we were with Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (ra), and food was presented to him in which there was chicken meat. The rest of the narration is like the previous narration.
In another narration it is that the narrator Zahdam Jarmi relates: I came to Hazrat Abu Musa (ra) and he was eating chicken meat. The rest of the narration is in accordance with the previous narration, but in it there is this addition that (the Holy Prophet (saw)) said: “By God, I have not forgotten it (my oath).”

It is narrated from Zahdam that Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (ra) relates: We came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) to ask him (saw) for mounts. He (saw) said: “I have nothing to give you to ride. By Allah, I cannot mount you.” Then he (saw) sent us three camels with white and black humps. We said: We came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) to get mounts. He (saw) swore that he would not give us mounts. Then we came to him (saw) and told him (saw). He (saw) said: “I do not swear any oath, but when I see another thing to be better than it, I do that which is better.”
In another narration Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (ra) relates: We were on foot; we had come to the Prophet (saw) of Allah (saw) to ask for mounts.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra) that he said: A man stayed with the Prophet (saw) until late at night. He went back to his family and found the children asleep. His wife brought him his food. He swore that he would not eat the food because of his children (not having eaten). Then he changed his mind and ate the food. Then he came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and mentioned this incident. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Whoever swears an oath and then considers the opposite to be better should do it and give the expiation for his oath.”

It is narrated from Tamim bin Tarafah that he said: A beggar came to Hazrat Adi bin Hatim (ra) and asked him for money towards (paying) the price of a servant, or for part of the price of a servant. He said: I have nothing to give you except my coat of mail and my helmet. I will write to my family that they should give you that sum. The narrator says: He was not satisfied. Hazrat Adi (ra) became displeased and said: By Allah, I will not give you anything. Then that man became satisfied (with that), so (Hazrat Adi (ra)) said: Listen! By Allah, had I not heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: “Whoever swears an oath and then sees something closer to the fear of Allah (Taqwa) than it should do that which is closer to Taqwa,” I would not have broken my oath.

Then he said: Had I not heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: “Whoever swears an oath about something and then sees something better than it should do that which is better.” In another narration (instead of “wa atahu rajulun yas'alu”) the words are “inna rajulan sa'alahu” (a man asked him).

Sahih Muslim 3109
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الْعَتَكِيُّ وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِي الرَّبِيعِ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ - حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ كَانَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ سِتُّونَ امْرَأَةً فَقَالَ لأَطُوفَنَّ عَلَيْهِنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ فَتَحْمِلُ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ فَتَلِدُ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ غُلاَمًا فَارِسًا يُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ تَحْمِلْ مِنْهُنَّ إِلاَّ وَاحِدَةٌ فَوَلَدَتْ نِصْفَ إِنْسَانٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لَوْ كَانَ اسْتَثْنَى لَوَلَدَتْ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ غُلاَمًا فَارِسًا يُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ " .
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra) relates that Hazrat Solomon (as) had sixty wives. He said: Tonight I will certainly go to them; then each one of them will become pregnant and each will give birth to a boy who will be a horseman fighting in the way of Allah. But none of those women became pregnant except one, and she too gave birth to half a human being. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “If Solomon (as) had made an exception (that is, had said: In sha' Allah), every woman would certainly have given birth to a boy, a horseman fighting in the way of God.”
