Hadith 5314
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ أَيُّوبُ لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ حَلَفَ فَاسْتَثْنَى فَهُوَ بِالْخِيَارِ إِنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَمْضِيَ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ غَيْرَ حِنْثٍ أَوْ قَالَ غَيْرَ حَرَجٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever takes an oath but makes an exception along with it, then he has the choice; if he wishes, he may enforce his oath, and if he wishes, he may not fulfill the requirement of the oath. This will not break his oath, or he said: There is no harm in it.
Hadith 5315
عَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا حَلَفَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ بِالْخِيَارِ إِنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَمْضِ وَإِنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَتْرُكْ
(Second chain) The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When a servant takes an oath and says "Insha’Allah" (if Allah wills) as an exception, then he is given the choice; if he wishes, he may fulfill the oath, and if he wishes, he may break it.
Hadith 5316
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يَبْلُغُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَقَالَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَقَدِ اسْتَثْنَى
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever swears an oath and also says "InshaAllah" has made an exception to his oath.
Hadith 5317
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ حَلَفَ فَقَالَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَمْ يَحْنَثْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever swears an oath and says "Insha'Allah" (if Allah wills), then he will not be held accountable for breaking it.
Hadith 5318
عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا نُرِيدُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَنَا وَائِلُ بْنُ حُجْرٍ فَأَخَذَهُ عَدُوٌّ لَهُ فَتَحَرَّجَ النَّاسُ أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا وَحَلَفْتُ أَنَّهُ أَخِي فَخَلَّى عَنْهُ فَأَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ كُنْتَ أَبَرَّهُمْ وَأَصْدَقَهُمْ صَدَقْتَ الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Suwaid bin Hanzala (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We set out to meet the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and Sayyiduna Wa’il bin Hujr (may Allah be pleased with him) was also with us. On the way, he was captured by the enemy, and the people felt hesitant to swear an oath on his behalf, but I swore that he is my brother. Because of this, the enemy released him. When we came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and I told him the whole story, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Among all of them, you are the one who fulfilled the oath the most and are the most truthful. You have spoken the truth, because a Muslim is the brother of a Muslim.
Hadith 5319
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمِينُكَ عَلَى مَا يُصَدِّقُكَ بِهِ صَاحِبُكَ وَفِي لَفْظٍ بِمَا يُصَدِّقُكَ بِهِ صَاحِبُكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Your oath is upon that thing on which your companion is confirming you.
