حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، وَزَيْدُ بْنُ أَخْزَمَ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ فَرُّوخَ ، قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى وَهُوَ أَبُو يُونُسَ الْقَوِيُّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا يَحْلِفُ عِنْدَ هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ عَبْدٌ وَلَا أَمَةٌ عَلَى يَمِينٍ آثِمَةٍ وَلَوْ عَلَى سِوَاكٍ رَطْبٍ إِلَّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ النَّارُ " .
´Muhammad bin Yahya, who is Abu Yunus Al-Qawi, said:` I heard Abu Salamah say: I heard Abu Hurairah say: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'No man or woman swears a false oath beside this pulpit, even if it is for a fresh twig, but he will be doomed to Hell.”
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
It is permissible to take and administer an oath for the resolution of mutual disputes and quarrels, provided that the oath is truthful.
The sin lies only in taking a false oath.
➋
Committing a sin in a place of respect is worse than committing it in an ordinary place, and its punishment will also be more severe.
➌
The mosque is more deserving of respect than other places.
➍
Among all mosques, the three most respected mosques are:
Masjid al-Haram, in which is the noble Ka‘bah; Masjid al-Nabawi; and Masjid al-Aqsa.
➎
The area near the pulpit (minbar) in the mosque holds greater sanctity, especially in Masjid al-Nabawi, where the area near the minbar has been described as “a garden from the gardens of Paradise.”
The Prophetic statement is:
“The space between my house (the chamber of Aisha radi Allahu anha) and my pulpit is one of the gardens of Paradise.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, The Virtue of Prayer in the Mosques of Mecca and Madinah, Chapter: The Virtue of What is Between the Grave and the Pulpit, Hadith: 1192; and Sahih Muslim, The Book of Hajj, Chapter: What is Between the Grave and the Pulpit is a Garden from the Gardens of Paradise, Hadith: 1390)
➏
To take a false oath in this place is an extremely evil act and a major sin (kabirah), especially when it is done for something trivial, which makes it even worse.
