18. The Chapters On Vows And Oaths From The Messenger Of Allāh ﷺ

English translation

1524. 'Aishah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "There is no vowing for disobedience, and its atonement is the atonement of an oath." (Sahih) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Umar, Jābir, and Imrān bin Ḥuṣain. [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is not correct, because Az-Zuhri did not hear this Hadīth from Abū Salamah. [He said:] I heard Muḥammad saying: "It has been reported by more than one narrator – among them – Mūsā bin 'Uqbah, and Ibn Abī 'Atīq, from Az-Zuhri: 'from Sulaimān bin Arqam, from Yahya bin Abī Kathīr, from Abū Salamah, from 'Aishah, from the Prophet ﷺ.'" Muḥammad said: "And this is the Hadīth."

١٥٢٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو صَفْوَانَ ، عَنْ ‌يُونُسَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ‌عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا نَذْرَ فِي مَعْصِيَةٍ،» وَكَفَّارَتُهُ كَفَّارَةُ يَمِينٍ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَجَابِرٍ، وَعِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَا يَصِحُّ؛ لِأَنَّ الزُّهْرِيَّ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ. سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدًا يَقُولُ: رَوَى غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ، مِنْهُمْ: مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ وَابْنُ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: وَالْحَدِيثُ هُوَ هَذَا.

1525. ‘Aishah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “There is no vowing for disobedience to Allāh, and its atonement is the atonement of an oath.” (Sahih) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, and it is more correct than the (previous) narration of Abū Ṣafwān from Yūnus. [Abū Ṣafwān is from Makkah and his name is ‘Abdullāh bin Sa‘eed bin ‘Abdul-Malik bin Marwān. Al-Ḥumaidī and more than one of the esteemed people of Hadīth reported from him]. There are those among the people of knowledge from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others who said: “There is no vowing for disobedience to Allāh, and its atonement is the atonement of an oath.” This is the view of Aḥmad and Ishāq and they used the Hadīth of Az-Zuhri from Abū Salamah from ‘Aishah as proof. Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others said that there is no vowing for disobedience, and that there is no atonement for that. This is the view of Mālik and Ash-Shāfi‘ī.

1526. Āishah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever vowed to obey Allāh, then he should obey Him. And whoever vowed to disobey Allāh, then he should not disobey Him."

1529. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Samurah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "O 'Abdur-Raḥmān! Do not ask for a position of leadership, for if you receive it due to asking, you will be left alone with it, and if you receive it without asking, then you will be aided in it. And if you take an oath and you see that something else is better than it, then do what is better, and make an atonement for your oath." (Ṣaḥīḥ) There are narrations on this topic from ['Alī, Jābir], 'Adī bin Hātim, Abū Ad-Dardā', Anas, 'Aishah, 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr, Abū Hurairah, Umm Salamah, and Abū Mūsā.

1530. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever takes an oath, and then he sees that something else is better than it, then he should make atonement for his oath and then do it." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Umm Salamah. [Abū 'Eisā said:] The Ḥadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth. This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others: Atonement before the violation is acceptable. This is the view of Mālik [bin Anas], Ash-Shāfi'i, Ahmad and Ishāq. Some of the people of knowledge said that there is no atonement until after the violation. Sufyān Ath-Thawrī said: "If he atones after the violation it is better to me, and if he atones before the violation it is acceptable."

1531. Ibn 'Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever swears about an oath and says: 'If Allāh wills (Inshā'-Allāh)', then there is no breaking of the oath against him." (Saḥīh) [He said:] There is something on this topic from Abū Hurairah. [Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Ibn 'Umar is a Ḥasan Hadīth. 'Ubaidullāh bin 'Umar and others reported it from Nāfi', from Ibn 'Umar as a Mawqūf narration. Similarly, Sālim reported it from Ibn 'Umar [may Allāh be pleased with them] as a Mawqūf narration. We do not know of anyone who narrated it in Marfū' form except from Ayyūb As-Sakhtiyānī. Ismā'īl bin Ibrāhīm said: "Sometimes Ayyūb narrated it as Marfū' and sometimes he did not narrate it as Marfū'." This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others regarding making an exception when connecting it to an oath, then one will not be guilty of having broken the oath. This is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Al-Awzā'ī, Mālik bin Anas, 'Abdullāh bin Al-Mubārak, Ash-Shāfi'ī, Aḥmad, and Ishāq.

1532. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever swears [about an oath] and says: 'If Allāh wills (Inshā' Allāh)', then he will not have broken it." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] I asked Muḥammad bin Ismā'īl about this Hadīth, so he said: "This Hadīth is a mistake, 'Abdur-Razzāq made the mistake of abbreviating it from the narration of Ma'mar, from Ibn Tāwūs, from his father, from Abū Hurairah, from the Prophet ﷺ who said: 'Indeed Sulaimān bin Dāwūd, peace be upon him, said: "Tonight I will sleep with seventy women, each woman giving birth to a boy." So he slept with them, but no one woman among them gave birth except for a woman who gave birth to half a boy.’ So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘If he had said: “If Allāh wills” (Inshā’-Allāh) then it would have been as he said.” This is how it was reported from ‘Abdur-Razzāq, from Ma’mar, from Ibn Tāwūs, from his father with this Hadīth in its entirety, and he said: “Seventy women.” This Hadīth has been reported through more than one route from Abū Hurairah, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he said: “Sulaimān bin Dāwūd said: ‘Tonight I shall sleep with one-hundred women.’”

1533. Sālim narrated from his father (Ibn ‘Umar) that the Prophet ﷺ heard ‘Umar saying: “By my father! By my father!” So he said: “Verily Allāh prohibits you from swearing by your fathers.” So ‘Umar said: “By Allāh I did not swear by him after that, neither intentionally nor in narrating.”(Sahih) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Thābit bin Ad-Dahhāk, Ibn ‘Abbās, Abū Hurairah, Qutailah, and ‘Abdur-Rahmān bin Samurah. This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih. [Abū ‘Eisā said:] Abū ‘Ubaid said: “The meaning of his saying: ‘Nor in narrating’ is as if he said: ‘I do not narrate it from others’ or saying: ‘I do not mention it from others.’”

1534. Ibn ‘Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came across ‘Umar while he was on his mount, and he was swearing by his father. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Verily Allāh prohibits you from swearing by your fathers. So let the one who swears, swear by Allāh, or be silent.” (Sahih) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih.

١٥٣٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌هَنَّادٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ ‌عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ ‌نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عُمَرَ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَدْرَكَ عُمَرَ» وَهُوَ فِي رَكْبٍ، وَهُوَ يَحْلِفُ بِأَبِيهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّ اللهَ يَنْهَاكُمْ أَنْ تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ، لِيَحْلِفْ حَالِفٌ بِاللهِ أَوْ لِيَسْكُتْ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

1535. Sa'd bin 'Ubaidah narrated that Ibn 'Umar heard a man saying: "No by the Ka'bah" so Ibn 'Umar said: "Nothing is sworn by other than Allāh, for I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Whoever swears by other than Allāh, he has committed disbelief or Shirk.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan. According to some of the people of knowledge, the explanation of this Hadīth is that his saying: "He has committed disbelief or Shirk" is to demonstrate its severity. The proof for that is the Hadīth of Ibn 'Umar: That the Prophet ﷺ heard 'Umar saying: 'By my father! By my father!' So he ﷺ said: "Verily Allāh prohibits you from swearing by your fathers." As well as the Hadīth of Abū Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ, that he ﷺ said: "Whoever says in his oath: 'By Al-Lāt! By Al-Uzza!' Then let him say: 'Lā Ilāha Illallāh (None has the right to be worshipped but Allāh)'." [Abū 'Eisā said:] This is similar to what has been reported from the Prophet ﷺ saying: "Indeed Riyā' is Shirk." Some of the people of knowledge explained this Āyah: So whoever hopes in meeting his Lord, then let him work righteous deeds[1] and they said it means: "Do not commit Riyā'."

1538. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Do not vow, for the vow does not prevent what is decreed at all, and it only causes the miser to spend (of his wealth).” (Sahih) [He said:] There is something about this from Ibn 'Umar. [Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Hasan Sahih Hadīth. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others, they disliked vows.

So if he vows to do some obedience and fulfills it, then he will get a reward, while it was disliked for him to make a vow."

1539. 'Umar narrated: "I said, 'O Messenger of Allāh! I had vowed to perform I'tikāf in Al-Masjid Al-Ḥarām for a night during the era of Jāhiliyyah.' He said: 'Fulfill your vow.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr, and Ibn 'Abbās. [Abū 'Eisā said:] The Ḥadīth of 'Umar is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth.

Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, and others, said that there is no I'tikāf without fasting. Others among the people of knowledge said that it is not required for the person performing I'tikāf to fast, unless he made fasting obligatory upon himself.

١٥٤٥ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌الزُّهْرِيُّ ، عَنْ ‌حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ حَلَفَ مِنْكُمْ فَقَالَ فِي حَلِفِهِ: وَاللَّاتِ» وَالْعُزَّى فَلْيَقُلْ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ. وَمَنْ قَالَ تَعَالَ أُقَامِرْكَ، فَلْيَتَصَدَّقْ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَأَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ هُوَ: الْخَوْلَانِيُّ الْحِمْصِيُّ، وَاسْمُهُ عَبْدُ الْقُدُّوسِ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ.

١٥٤٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ ‌عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ «أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ» اسْتَفْتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي نَذْرٍ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّهِ تُوُفِّيَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقْضِيَهُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: اقْضِ عَنْهَا هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

English translation

1547. Abū Umāmah, and other than him from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Any Muslim man who frees a Muslim man, then it is his salvation from the Fire – each of his limbs suffices for a limb of himself. And any Muslim man that frees two Muslim women, they are his salvation from the Fire – each of their limbs suffices for a limb of himself. And any Muslim woman that frees a Muslim woman, then she is her salvation from the Fire – each of her limbs suffices for a limb of herself.” (Sahih) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb from this route. [Abū ‘Eisā said: In this Hadīth is the proof that freeing males is more virtuous for a man than freeing females, due to the saying of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: “Any Muslim man who frees a Muslim man, then it is his salvation from the Fire – each of his limbs suffices for a limb of himself.” And the Hadīth is correct in its routes of transmission.]
