1545. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever among you swears, saying in his oath: 'By Al-Lāt! By Al-'Uzza!' Then let him say 'Lā ilāha illallāh' (None has the right to the worshipped but Allāh)." And whoever says: 'Come let me gamble with you!' Then let him give in charity." (Saḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Hasan Saḥīḥ. Abū Al-Mughīrah is Al-Khawlānī, Al-Ḥimšī, and his name is 'Abdul-Quddūs bin Al-Hajjāj.
١٥٤٥ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ حَلَفَ مِنْكُمْ فَقَالَ فِي حَلِفِهِ: وَاللَّاتِ» وَالْعُزَّى فَلْيَقُلْ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ. وَمَنْ قَالَ تَعَالَ أُقَامِرْكَ، فَلْيَتَصَدَّقْ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَأَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ هُوَ: الْخَوْلَانِيُّ الْحِمْصِيُّ، وَاسْمُهُ عَبْدُ الْقُدُّوسِ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ.

Before the advent of Islam, the people of Arabia used to take oaths by 'Al-Lāt' and 'Al-'Uzzā', and after accepting Islam, sometimes while taking an oath they uttered these words unintentionally. For this reason they were advised to say "lā ilāha illallāh" (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh), to explain and confirm their faith.
