Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 12664 — A man swearing by other than Allah
١٢٦٦٤ - حدثنا أبو الأحوص عن سماك عن عكرمة قال: قال عمر: (حدثت) (١) قومًا حديثًا، فقلت: لا؛ وأبي، فقال رجل من خلفي: " (لا تحلفوا) (٢) بآبائكم"، (قال) (٣): فالتفت (فإذا) (٤) رسول اللَّه ﷺ فقال: "لو أن أحدكم حلف بالمسيح لهلك، والمسيح خير من آبائكم" (٥).
Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was telling some people something, and then I said: "No, by my father." A man behind me said: "Do not swear by your forefathers." When I turned towards him, I saw that it was the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If anyone were to swear by the Messiah, he would be ruined, even though the Messiah was better and more virtuous than your forefathers."
