Hadith 2378
أَخْبَرَنَا
الْحَكَمُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، حَدَّثَنَا
مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ
نَافِعٍ، عَنِ
ابْنِ عُمَرَ: أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَدْرَكَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ وَهُوَ يَسِيرُ فِي رَكْبٍ، وَهُوَ يَحْلِفُ بِأَبِيه، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
"إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَنْهَاكُمْ أَنْ تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ، فَمَنْ كَانَ حَالِفًا، فَلْيَحْلِفْ بِاللَّهِ، أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ".
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) heard Sayyiduna Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) swear by his father in a caravan, so he said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty forbids you from swearing by your forefathers. So now, whoever wants to swear an oath, let him swear by Allah, otherwise let him remain silent."
