Chapter on Whoever Swore Falsely and Allah Forgave Him
Hadith 5329
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ اخْتَصَمَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُدَّعِيَ الْبَيِّنَةَ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بَيِّنَةٌ فَاسْتَحْلَفَ الْمَطْلُوبَ فَحَلَفَ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّكَ قَدْ فَعَلْتَ وَلَكِنْ غُفِرَ لَكَ بِإِخْلَاصِكَ قَوْلَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, that two men brought a dispute to the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, demanded evidence from the claimant, but he had no witness. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, made the defendant take an oath, and he swore by Allah, besides whom there is no true deity. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "You have indeed sworn a false oath, but Allah Almighty has forgiven you because you have said 'La ilaha illallah' with sincerity."
Hadith 5330
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ اخْتَصَمَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلَانِ فَوَقَعَتِ الْيَمِينُ عَلَى أَحَدِهِمَا فَحَلَفَ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ مَا لَهُ عِنْدَهُ شَيْءٌ قَالَ فَنَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ كَاذِبٌ إِنَّ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ حَقَّهُ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ حَقَّهُ وَكَفَّارَةُ يَمِينِهِ مَعْرِفَتُهُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ أَوْ شَهَادَتُهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that two men brought their dispute to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). In the judgment, one man had to take an oath. He swore by Allah, besides whom there is no true deity, that the other man had nothing with him. Meanwhile, Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: This man is lying; the other has a right with him. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to give the other his due, and the expiation for his false oath is his recognition or testimony that Allah alone is the true deity.
Hadith 5331
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوُهُ
. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) also narrated a similar hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
