3249. It was narrated from Nāfi', from Ibn 'Umar, from 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ met him when he was with some other riders, swearing by his father. He said: "Allāh forbids you to swear by your fathers. Whoever wants to swear, let him swear by Allāh or remain silent." (Sahīh)

Arabic text

3249 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَدْرَكَهُ وَهُوَ فِي رَكْبٍ وَهُوَ يَحْلِفُ بِأَبِيهِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَنْهَاكُمْ أَنْ تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ، فَمَنْ كَانَ حَالِفًا فَلْيَحْلِفْ بِاللَّهِ، أَوْ لِيَسْكُتْ»،
