English translation

3797. It was narrated from Sâlim, from his father, that on one occasion the Prophet ﷺ heard 'Umar saying: "By my father and by my mother." He said: "Allâh forbids you to swear by your forefathers." 'Umar said: "By Allâh, I never swore by them again, whether saying it for myself or reporting it of others." (Sahih)

Arabic text

3766 - أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عُمَرَ مَرَّةً وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: وَأَبِي وَأَبِي، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَنْهَاكُمْ أَنْ تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ» فَوَاللَّهِ مَا حَلَفْتُ بِهَا بَعْدُ ذَاكِرًا وَلَا آثِرًا "

Commentary

'For myself' means intentionally, on his own, and he never quoted someone else having taken an oath like this.
