باب الاِسْتِثْنَاءِ في الْيَمِينِ:Chapter: Exception in Oaths
Hadith 2380
أَخْبَرَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ: "مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ، فَهُوَ بِالْخِيَارِ: إِنْ شَاءَ فَعَلَ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever swears an oath about something and also says 'In sha Allah' (if Allah wills), then he has the choice: if he wishes, he may fulfill the oath, and if he wishes, he may not fulfill it (i.e., he may break the oath)."
