Hadith 1143

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ، سَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، وَهُوَ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ أَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صِيَامِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ ؟ ، فَقَالَ : " نَعَمْ وَرَبِّ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ " ،
Muhammad bin 'Abad. Ja'far reported: I asked Jabir bin 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with both of them) as he was circumambulating the House (Ka’bah) whether the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had forbidden the fasting on Friday, whereupon he said: Yes, by the Lord of this House.

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:


It is permissible to converse during the circumambulation (tawaf) of the Ka'bah.
However, it is preferable to avoid unnecessary conversation and to remain engaged in supplication (du'a) and remembrance (dhikr).


It is forbidden (haram) to swear by the creation of Allah.
But if Allah is mentioned along with one of His attributes, then there is no harm.
Therefore, instead of swearing by the Ka'bah, one should swear by the Lord of the Ka'bah.


It is permissible to take an oath to emphasize a statement.
However, taking oaths excessively without necessity is not good, and a false oath is a very great sin.
