3258. 'Abdullāh bin Buraidah narrated that his father said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Whoever swears an oath and says: 'I have nothing to do with Islam', if he is lying, it will be as he said, and if he is telling the truth, he will not return to Islam soundly." (Hasan)
3258 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ وَاقِدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلم: " مَنْ حَلَفَ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ، فَإِنْ كَانَ كَاذِبًا فَهُوَ كَمَا قَالَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ صَادِقًا فَلَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ سَالِمًا "

Imām At-Tirmidhī (no. 1543) said: "The people of knowledge differed about this: When a man swears by a religion other than Islam, saying he is a Jew or a Christian if he were to do this or that. Then he does that thing. Some of them said that he has committed an atrocity and there is no expiation due from him. This is the view of the people of Al-Madīnah and it is the saying of Mālik bin Anas, and Abū 'Ubaid followed this view. Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, the Tābi'īn, as well as others, said that he has to expiate for that. This is the view of Sufyān, Ahmad and Ishāq." Ibn Al-Mundhir said that: "it will be as he said" means he is a liar for saying this, just like the enormity of the falsehood of that religion he swore by. See 'Awn Al-Ma'būd."
