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.
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
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)
