1533. Sālim narrated from his father (Ibn ‘Umar) that the Prophet ﷺ heard ‘Umar saying: “By my father! By my father!” So he said: “Verily Allāh prohibits you from swearing by your fathers.” So ‘Umar said: “By Allāh I did not swear by him after that, neither intentionally nor in narrating.”(Sahih) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Thābit bin Ad-Dahhāk, Ibn ‘Abbās, Abū Hurairah, Qutailah, and ‘Abdur-Rahmān bin Samurah. This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih. [Abū ‘Eisā said:] Abū ‘Ubaid said: “The meaning of his saying: ‘Nor in narrating’ is as if he said: ‘I do not narrate it from others’ or saying: ‘I do not mention it from others.’”

١٥٣٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ‌الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ «سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عُمَرَ» وَهُوَ يَقُولُ وَأَبِي وَأَبِي فَقَالَ: أَلَا إِنَّ اللهَ يَنْهَاكُمْ أَنْ تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: فَوَاللهِ مَا حَلَفْتُ بِهِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ذَاكِرًا وَلَا آثِرًا. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ الضَّحَّاكِ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَقُتَيْلَةَ، وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ. حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ: مَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ: وَلَا آثِرًا؛ أَيْ لَمْ آثُرْهُ عَنْ غَيْرِي، يَقُولُ: لَمْ أَذْكُرْهُ عَنْ غَيْرِي.

Taking an oath only by Allāh is lawful. Taking an oath by other than Allāh is unlawful.
