حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا سُوَيْدِ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا نُرِيدُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَنَا وَائِلُ بْنُ حُجْرٍ ، فَأَخَذَهُ عَدُوٌّ لَهُ ، فَتَحَرَّجَ النَّاسُ أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا ، فَحَلَفْتُ أَنَا ، أَنَّهُ أَخِي فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ ، فَأَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ ، أَنَّ الْقَوْمَ تَحَرَّجُوا أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا وَحَلَفْتُ أَنَا ، أَنَّهُ أَخِي ، فَقَالَ : " صَدَقْتَ الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ " .
´It was narrated that Suwaid bin Hanzalah said:` "We went out looking for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and Wa'il bin Hujr was with us. An enemy of his seized him and the people were reluctant to swear an oath but I swore that he was my brother, so they set him free. We came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and I told him that the people had been reluctant to swear an oath, but I had sworn that he was my brother. He said: 'You told the truth. The Muslim is the brother of his fellow Muslim.' "

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
The meaning of tawriyah is to say something that has two meanings: the listener understands one meaning, while the speaker intends another meaning, so that it is not a lie and life can be saved.
➋
When there is a danger to life, wealth, or honor, it is permissible to use tawriyah to protect oneself from the enemy.
➌
It is also permissible to use tawriyah to save the life of another Muslim.
➍
Hazrat Suwayd did not swear that this was not Wa’il bin Hujr, but rather swore an oath regarding brotherhood. The enemy thought he was Suwayd’s real brother, so they let him go, whereas Hazrat Suwayd meant that he was his brother in faith.

Benefits and Issues:
It is permissible to swear by gesture and equivocation (tauriyah) in the face of the enemy.
And the statement (Indeed, in equivocations there is a way out from lying) (al-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Bayhaqi 10/199) means that through gestures, it is possible to avoid lying.
This is the very meaning of the statement.
