Arabic text

3762 - أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ أَبُو يَعْلَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: " كَانَتْ يَمِينُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّتِي يَحْلِفُ بِهَا: لَا وَمُصَرِّفِ الْقُلُوبِ "

Footnotes

  1. 1

    [1] Here the term Half means when swearing, one says: "By Allâh..." or similar. In the translation we usually distinguished it from Yamîn by: "Swearing by..." It is often mentioned with Yamîn as in this narration.

Commentary

'No': This is the negation of the utterance that preceded. So to say, this oath was stated in order to negate some utterance. It might have occurred for emphasis.
