3248. It was narrated that Abū Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Do not swear by your fathers nor by your mothers, nor by the rivals (to Allāh). Do not swear by anyone but Allāh, and do not swear by Allāh unless you are telling the truth.'" (Sahīh)

Arabic text

3248 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ، وَلَا بِأُمَّهَاتِكُمْ، وَلَا بِالْأَنْدَادِ، وَلَا تَحْلِفُوا إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ، وَلَا تَحْلِفُوا بِاللَّهِ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ صَادِقُونَ»
