٦٦٤٦. Narrated Ibn 'Umar رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ met 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb while the latter was going with a group of camel-riders, and he was swearing by his father. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Verily! Allāh forbids you to swear by your fathers, so whoever has to take an oath, he should take the oath by the Name of Allāh or keep quiet."
6646 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَدْرَكَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الخَطَّابِ، وَهُوَ يَسِيرُ فِي رَكْبٍ، يَحْلِفُ بِأَبِيهِ، فَقَالَ: «أَلاَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَنْهَاكُمْ أَنْ تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ، مَنْ كَانَ حَالِفًا فَلْيَحْلِفْ بِاللَّهِ أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ»
