English translation

3272. It was narrated from Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab that two brothers of the Anṣār had an inheritance between them. One of them said to his companion: "(Let us) divide it." He said: "If you ask me again to divide it, my wealth will be at the door of the Ka'bah (donated to be spent on it)." Umar said to him: "The Ka'bah has no need of your wealth; offer expiation for your oath, and speak to your brother. I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'No oath or vow is binding on you if it involves disobedience to the Lord, or severing the ties of kinship, or if it involves something over which you do not possess.'" (Hasan)

Arabic text

3272 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، أَنَّ أَخَوَيْنِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا مِيرَاثٌ، فَسَأَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ الْقِسْمَةَ، فَقَالَ: إِنْ عُدْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ الْقِسْمَةِ فَكُلُّ مَالٍ لِي فِي رِتَاجِ الْكَعْبَةِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ إِنَّ الْكَعْبَةَ غَنِيَّةٌ عَنْ مَالِكَ، كَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَكَلِّمْ أَخَاكَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَا يَمِينَ عَلَيْكَ، وَلَا نَذْرَ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ الرَّبِّ، وَفِي قَطِيعَةِ الرَّحِمِ، وَفِيمَا لَا تَمْلِكُ»
