حديث عُمَرَ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ اللهَ يَنْهَاكُمْ أَنْ تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ قَالَ عُمَرُ: فَوَاللهِ مَا حَلَفْتُ بِهَا مُنْذَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، ذَاكِرًا وَلَا آثِرًا.
I heard 'Umar saying, "Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said to me, 'Allâh forbids you to swear by your fathers.'" 'Umar said, "By Allâh! Since I heard that from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, I have not taken such an oath, neither intentionally, nor by reporting the oath of someone else." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 642, Vol. 8)
حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ أَدْرَكَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فِي رَكْبٍ وَهُوَ يَحْلِفُ بِأَبِيهِ، فَنَادَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَلَا إِنَّ اللهَ يَنْهَاكُمْ أَنْ تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ، فَمَنْ كَانَ حَالِفًا فَلْيَحْلِفْ بِاللهِ، وَإِلَاّ فَلْيَصْمُتْ.
Narrated Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهما that he found 'Umar bin Al-Khattâb in a group of people and he was swearing by his father. So Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم called them, saying, "Verily! Allâh forbids you to swear by your fathers. If one has to take an oath, he should swear by Allâh تعالى or otherwise keep quiet." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 129, Vol. 8)
27/2. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَنْ حَلَفَ فَقَالَ فِي حَلِفِهِ وَالَّلاتِ وَالْعُزَّى، فَلْيَقُلْ، لَا إِلهَ إِلَاّ اللهُ؛ وَمَنْ قَالَ لِصَاحِبِهِ، تَعَالَ أُقَامِرْك، فَلْيَتَصَدَّقْ.
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Whoever takes an oath in which he mentions Lât and 'Uzza (forgetfully), should say: "Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh" (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh), and whoever says to his companion, 'Come along, let us gamble', must give alms (as an expiation)." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 383, Vol. 6)
27/3. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي مُوسى رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: أَرْسَلَنِي أَصْحَابِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، أَسْأَلهُ الْحُمْلَانَ لَهُمْ إِذْ هُمْ مَعَهُ فِي جَيْشِ الْعُسْرَةِ، وَهِيَ غَزْوَةُ تَبُوكَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنَّ أَصْحَابِي أَرْسَلونِي إِلَيْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ، فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ لَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ وَوَافَقْتُهُ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ، وَلَا أَشْعُرُ، وَرَجَعْتُ حَزِينًا مِنْ مَنْعِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، وَمِنْ مَخَافَةِ أَنْ يَكُونَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَجَدَ فِي نَفْسِهِ عَلَيَّ؛ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِي فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمُ الَّذِي قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلَمْ أَلْبَثْ إِلَاّ سُوَيْعَةً إِذْ سَمِعْتُ بِلَالًا يُنَادِي، أَي عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ فَأَجَبْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَدْعُوكَ، فَلَمَّا أَتَيْتُهُ قَالَ: خُذْ هذَيْنِ الْقَرِينَيْنِ وَهذَيْنِ الْقَرِينَيْنِ لِسِتَّةِ أَبْعِرَةٍ ابْتَاعَهُنَّ حِينَئِذٍ مِنْ سَعْدٍ فَانْطَلِقْ بِهِنَّ إِلَى أَصْحَابِكَ، فَقُلْ إِنَّ اللهَ أَوْ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَى هؤُلَاءِ فَارْكَبُوهُنَّ فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ بِهِنَّ فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ النَبِيَّ ﷺ يَحْمِلَكُمْ عَلَى هؤُلَاءِ، وَلكِنِّي، وَاللهِ لَا أَدَعُكُمْ حَتَّى يَنْطَلِقَ مَعِي بَعْضُكُمْ إِلَى مَنْ سَمِعَ مَقَالَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، لَا تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي حَدَّثْتُكُمْ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَقُلْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؛ فَقَالُوا لِي: إِنَّكَ عِنْدَنَا لَمُصَدَّقٌ وَلَنَفْعَلَنَّ مَا أَحْبَبْتَ فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو مُوسى بِنَفَرٍ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى أَتَوُا الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْعَهُ إِيَّاهُمْ، ثُمَّ إِعْطاءَهُمْ بَعْدُ، فَحَدَّثُوهُمْ بِمِثْلِ مَا حَدَّثَهُمْ بِهِ أَبُو مُوسى.
My companions sent me to Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم to ask him for some animals to ride on as they were accompanying him in the army of Al-'Usrah, and that was the Ghazwah (battle) of Tabûk. I said, "O Allâh's Prophet! My companions have sent me to you to provide them with means of transportation." He said, "By Allâh! I will not make you ride anything."It happened that when I reached him, he was in an angry mood, and I didn't notice it. So I returned in a sad mood because of the refusal of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, and for the fear that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم might have become angry with me. So I returned to my companions and informed them of what the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم had said.Only a short while had passed when I heard Bilâl calling, "O 'Abdullâh bin Qais!" I replied to his call. Bilâl said, "Respond to Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم who is calling you." When I went to him (i.e. the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم), he said, "Take these two camels tied together and also these two camels tied together," referring to the six camels he had bought from Sa'd at that time.The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم added, "Take them to your companions and say, 'Allâh تعالى (or Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم) allows you to ride on these,' so ride on them." So I took those camels to them and said, "The Prophet ﷺ allows you to ride on these (camels), but by Allāh, I will not leave you till some of you proceed with me to somebody who heard the statement of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. Do not think that I narrate to you a thing which Allāh's Messenger ﷺ has not said." They said to me, "We consider you truthful, and we will do what you like."The sub-narrator added: So Abû Mûsa proceeded along with some of them till they came to those who have heard the statement of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ wherein he denied them (some animals to ride on) and [his (next) statement] whereby he gave them the same to ride on. These people told them the same information as Abû Mûsa had told them.( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 699, Vol. 5)
حديث أَبِي مُوسى عَنْ زَهْدَمٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي مُوسى فَأُتِيَ ذَكَرَ دَجَاجَةً، وَعِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَيْمِ اللهِ أَحْمَرُ، كَأَنَّهُ مِنَ الْمَوَالِي، فَدَعَاهُ لِلطَّعَام، فَقَال: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ يَأَكُل شَيْئًا فَقَذِرْتُهُ؛ فَحَلَفْتُ لَا آكلُ فَقَالَ: هَلُمَّ فَلأُحَدِّثْكُمْ عَنْ ذَاك إِنِّي أَتَيْتُ النَبِيَّ ﷺ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنَ الأَشْعَرِيِّينَ نَسْتَحْمِلهُ، فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ لَا أَحْمِلُكمْ، وَمَا عِنْدِي مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ وَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِنَهْبِ إِبِلٍ، فَسَأَلَ عَنَّا، فَقَالَ: أَيْنَ النَّفَرُ الأَشْعَرِيُّونَ فَأَمَرَ لَنَا بِخَمْسِ ذَوْدٍ، غُرِّ الذُّرَى، فَلَمَّا انْطَلَقْنَا قلْنَا: مَا صَنَعْنَا لَا يُبَارَكُ لَنَا فَرَجَعْنَا إِلَيْهِ، فَقُلْنَا: إِنَّا سَأَلْنَاكَ أَنْ تَحْمِلَنَا فَحَلَفْتَ أَنْ لَا تَحْمِلَنَا، أَفَنَسِيتَ قَالَ: لَسْتُ أَنَا حَمَلْتُكُمْ، وَلكِنَّ اللهَ حَمَلَكُمْ، وَإِنِّي وَاللهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ، لَا أَحْلِفُ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَأَرَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِلَاّ أَتَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ، وَتَحَلَّلْتُهَا.
Once we were in the house of Abû Mûsa who presented a meal containing cooked chicken. A man from the tribe of Banî Taim-Allāh with red complexion, as if from the Byzantine war prisoners, was present. Abû Mûsa invited him to share the meal but he (apologized) saying, "I saw chickens eating dirty things and so I have had a strong aversion to eating them, and have taken an oath that I will not eat chickens."Abû Mûsa said, "Come along, I will tell you about this matter (i.e. how to cancel one's oath). I went to the Prophet ﷺ in the company of a group of Al-Ash'ariyûn, asking him to provide us with means of conveyance. He (ﷺ) said, 'By Allāh, I will not provide you with any means of conveyance and I have nothing to make you ride on.' Then some camels as booty were brought to Allâh's Messenger ﷺ and he asked for us saying, 'Where are the group of Al-Ash'ariyûn?' Then he ordered that we should be given five camels with white humps.When we set out we said, 'What have we done? We will never be blessed (with what we have been given).' So, we returned to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'We asked you to provide us with means of conveyance, but you took an oath that you would not provide us with any means of conveyance. Did you forget (your oath when you gave us the camels)?'He (ﷺ) replied, 'I have not provided you with means of conveyance, but Allâh ﷻ has provided you with it and by Allâh, if Allâh will, if ever I take an oath to do something, and later on I find that it is more beneficial to do something different, I will do the thing which is better, and give expiation for my oath.'(Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 361, Vol. 4)
حديث عَبْدِ الرَّحْمنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمنِ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ لَا تَسْأَلِ الإِمَارَةَ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ أُوتِيْتَهَا عَنْ مَسْئَلَةٍ وكِلْتَ إِلَيْهَا، وَإِنْ أُوتِيْتَهَا ⦗١٧٣⦘ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَسْئَلَةٍ أُعِنْتَ عَلَيْهَا، وَإِذَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَرَأَيْتَ غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا فَكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ.
The Prophet ﷺ said, "O 'Abdur-Rahmân bin Samura! Do not seek to be a ruler, because if you are given authority on asking for it, then you will be held responsible for it; but if you are given it without asking for it, then you will be helped in it (by Allâh ﷻ); and whenever you take an oath to do something and later you find that something else is better than the first, then do the better one and make expiation for your oath." (Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 619, Vol. 8)
27/5. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ ﵉: لأَطُوفَنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ بِمِائَةِ امْرَأَةٍ، تَلِدُ كُلُّ امْرَأَةٍ غُلَامًا يُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلَكُ: قُلْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ فَلَمْ يَقُلْ، وَنَسِيَ؛ فَأَطَافَ بِهِنَّ، وَلَمْ تَلِدْ مِنْهُنَّ إِلَاّ امْرَأَةٌ نِصْفَ إِنْسَانٍ قَالَ النَبِيُّ ﷺ: لَوْ قَالَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ لَمْ يَحْنَثْ، وَكَانَ أَرْجَى لِحَاجَتِهِ.
(The Prophet) Sulaimân (Solomon) عليه السلام son of (the Prophet) Dawûd (David) عليه السلام said, "Tonight I will go round (i.e. have sexual relations with) one hundred women (my wives), everyone of whom will deliver a male child who will fight in Allâh's Cause." On that an angel said to him, "Say: 'If Allâh will.' " But Sulaimân did not say it and forgot to say it. Then he had sexual relations with them but none of them delivered any child except one who delivered a half person (a malformed baby).The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "If Sulaimân had said: 'If Allâh will,' Allâh would have fulfilled his (above) desire and that saying would have made him more hopeful."( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 169, Vol. 7)
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، لأَطُوفَنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ عَلَى سَبْعِينَ امْرَأَةً، تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ امْرَأَةٍ فَارِسًا يُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ، إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ، فَلَم يَقُلْ، وَلَمْ تَحْمِلْ شَيْئًا إِلَاّ وَاحِدًا سَاقِطًا إِحْدَى شِقَّيْهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: لَوْ قَالَهَا لَجَاهَدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Sulaimân (Solomon) the son of Dawûd (David) said, 'Tonight I will sleep with seventy ladies each of whom will conceive a child; who will be a knight, fighting for Allâh's Cause.' His companion said to him (say), 'If Allâh will.' But Sulaimân did not say so; therefore none of those women got pregnant except one who gave birth to a half child."The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم further said, "If (the Prophet) Sulaimân had said it (i.e. 'if Allâh will') he would have begotten children who would have fought in Allâh's Cause."( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 635, Vol. 4) trouble to the family for a thing that is not unlawful.
27/6. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: وَاللهِ لأَنْ يَلِجَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِيَمِينِهِ فِي أَهْلِهِ آثَمُ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ مِنْ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ كَفَّارَتَهُ الَّتِي افْتَرَضَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "We (Muslims) are the last (to come) in the world, but (will be) foremost on the Day of Resurrection". Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم added, "By Allâh, if anyone of you insists on fulfilling an oath by which he may harm his family, he commits a greater sin, in Allâh's consideration than that of dissolving his oath and making its expiation with that which Allâh تعالى has commanded." (See the Qur'ân V.5:89). ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 621, Vol. 8 )
27/7. Chapter:
حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَيَّ اعْتِكَافُ يَوْمٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّة، فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَفِيَ بِهِ قَالَ: وَأَصَابَ عُمَرُ جَارِيَتَيْنِ مِنْ سَبْيِ حُنَيْنٍ فَوَضَعَهُمَا فِي بَعْضِ بُيُوتِ مَكَّةَ، قَالَ: فَمَنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى سَبْيِ حُنَيْنٍ، فَجَعَلُوا يَسْعَوْنَ فِي السِّكَكِ؛ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ انْظُرْ مَا هذَا فَقَالَ: مَنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى السَّبْيِ، قَالَ: اذْهَبْ فَأَرْسِلِ الْجَارِيَتَيْنِ.
'Umar bin Al-Khattâb رضي الله عنه said, "O Allâh's Messenger, I vowed to observe I'tikâf for one day during the Period of Ignorance." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم ordered him to fulfil his vow. 'Umar gained two lady captives from the war prisoners of Hunain and he left them in some of the houses at Makka.When Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم freed the captives of Hunain without ransom, they came out walking in the streets. 'Umar said (to his son), "O Abdullâh! See what is the matter." Abdullâh replied, "Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم has freed the captives without ransom." He said (to him), "Go and set free those two slave girls." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 372, Vol. 4 ) committing an illegal sexual intercourse (adultery).
