Arabic text

2328 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَامِرٌ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِيَهُودِيَّيْنِ: «أَنْشَدْتُكُمَا بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ التَّوْرَاةَ عَلَى مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ»

Commentary

a. The false oath is also forbidden in the religion of Jews and Christians. Therefore they can be asked to take an oath when needed. b. The non-Muslims should also be asked to swear only by Allâh ﷺ. c. The Jews respect the Torah and claim to have faith in it; the oath can be demanded from them according to their faith, but by using only such words that are not contrary to Islamic faith.
