A man who swears about food

Aslam said: I asked Sa'id bin al-Musayyib about a woman who swore that she would not drink the milk of her husband's goat, and then she drank it. He said: "There is nothing on her; there is no oath in eating and drinking."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Tariq bin Shihab (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man had some goats, and he swore that he would not drink their milk. When his wife saw this, she swore that she would not drink their milk either. So the goats went dry and were ruined. Then he came to Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) and mentioned it to him. He said: "This is from Satan. Both of you return to what is best for you, and then drink their milk."

It is narrated from Mujahid that a man from the Ansar had a guest, and his family was late. The Ansari asked: "Have you given my guest dinner?" They said: "No." The Ansari said: "Then, by Allah, I too will not eat your dinner tonight." His wife said: "Then I will not eat either." The guest said: "By Allah, I will not eat either." The Ansari said: "Shall my guest spend the night without food! Bring your food." Then he ate with them. In the morning he went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him the whole incident. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You obeyed Allah and disobeyed Satan."
