اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، يَرْفَعُهُ ، قَالَ : " وَاللَّهِ لَأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لَأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لَأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا ، ثُمَّ سَكَتَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : زَادَ فِيهِ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ لَمْ يَغْزُهُمْ .
Narrated Ikrimah: The Prophet ﷺ as saying: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish. The then said: If Allah wills. He again said: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish if Allah wills. He again said: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish. He then kept silence. Then he said: If Allah wills. Abu Dawud said: Al-Walid bin Muslim said on the authority of Sharik: He then said: But he did not fight against them.

Brief Explanation
1؎: If, in an oath, one says "insha Allah" (if Allah wills) without any pause or silence, then upon breaking the oath, expiation (kaffarah) will not be obligatory; otherwise, it will be obligatory, as is mentioned in hadith number (3261). This hadith is weak.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
It is necessary to say "in sha Allah" (if Allah wills) regarding matters of the future.
In the Noble Qur'an, Allah the Exalted says:
(And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow," except [when adding], "If Allah wills.") ( al-Kahf: 23–24).
And (O Prophet), do not say about anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow," except [by saying], "If Allah wills." Furthermore, if one says it after a slight delay, that is also permissible.
