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.
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
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)
