حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَفْلَحَ وَأَبِيهِ إِنْ صَدَقَ " . أَوْ " دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَبِيهِ إِنْ صَدَقَ " .
Talhah bin 'Ubaidullah Narrated from:
Another hadith, the like of which has been narrated by Malik (b. Anas) (and mentioned above) is also reported by Talha b. 'Ubaidullah, with the only variation that the Prophet remarked: By his father, he shall succeed if he were true (to what he professed), or: By his father, he would enter heaven if he were true (to what he professed).
[1] "By his father" — this is not intended as an oath, for swearing by anything other than Allâh is forbidden in Islam. The Arabs commonly used this phrase in their speech for emphasis, without intending it as an oath. It may also be the case that the incident described in this Hadîth occurred before the prohibition on swearing by anything other than Allâh was revealed. Similar was stated by Al-Khaṭṭâbî in Ma'âlam As-Sunan .Reference : Sahih Muslim 11bIn-book reference : Book 1, Hadith 9USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 1, Hadith 8
