أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْمُزَنِيُّ، أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى، ثنا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنِي شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ، وَعَطَاءُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيُّ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَخْبَرَهُمَا، أَنَّ النَّاسَ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ نَرَى رَبَّنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " هَلْ تُمَارُونَ فِي الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ لَيْسَ دُونَهُ سَحَابٌ "؟ قَالُوا: لَا، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: " فَهَلْ تُمَارُونَ فِي الشَّمْسِ لَيْسَ دُونَهَا سَحَابٌ "؟ قَالُوا: لَا، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: " فَإِنَّكُمْ تَرَوْنَهُ كَذَلِكَ " وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، قَالَ: " وَيَبْقَى رَجُلٌ هُوَ بَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ، وَآخَرُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ دُخُولًا الْجَنَّةَ مُقْبِلٌ بِوَجْهِهِ عَلَى النَّارِ، يَقُولُ: ⦗٧٣⦘ يَا رَبِّ اصْرِفْ وَجْهِيَ عَنِ النَّارِ، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ قَشَبَنِي رِيحُهَا، وَأَحْرَقَنِي ذَكَاؤُهَا، فَيَقُولُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " فَهَلْ عَسَيْتَ إِنْ فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ بِكَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ "؟ فَيَقُولُ: لَا، وَعِزَّتِكَ، فَيُعْطِي رَبَّهُ مَا شَاءَ مِنْ عَهْدٍ وَمِيثَاقٍ، فَيَصْرِفُ اللهُ وَجْهَهُ عَنِ النَّارِ، فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَ بِوَجْهِهِ عَلَى الْجَنَّةِ، فَرَأَى بَهْجَتَهَا، فَيَسْكُتُ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَسْكُتَ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ، قَدِّمْنِي عِنْدَ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَيَقُولُ اللهُ: " أَلَسْتَ قَدْ أَعْطَيْتَ الْعُهُودَ وَالْمَوَاثِيقَ أَنْ لَا تَسْأَلَ غَيْرَ الَّذِي كُنْتَ سَأَلْتَ "؟ فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ، لَا أَكُونُ أَشْقَى خَلْقِكَ فَيَقُولُ: " هَلْ عَسَيْتَ إِنْ أُعْطِيتَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَ غَيْرَهُ؟ "، فَيَقُولُ: لَا، وَعِزَّتِكَ لَا أَسْأَلُكَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ، وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، إِلَى أَنْ، قَالَ:، ثُمَّ يَأْذَنُ لَهُ فِي دُخُولِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ: تَمَنَّ، فَيَتَمَنَّى "، حَتَّى إِذَا انْقَطَعَ بِهِ قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: " مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَسَلْ " يُذَكِّرُهُ رَبُّهُ، حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَهَتْ بِهِ الْأَمَانِيُّ، قَالَ اللهُ: " لَكَ ذَلِكَ، وَمِثْلُهُ مَعَهُ "، قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ، لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَكَ ذَلِكَ، وَعَشَرَةُ أَمْثَالِهِ ". رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْيَمَانِ، وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ، وَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " وَعِزَّتِكَ، لَا غِنًى بِي عَنْ بَرَكَتِكَ " وَفِي حَدِيثِ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي قِصَّةِ جَهَنَّمَ، فَتَقُولُ: " قَطْ قَطْ، وَعِزَّتِكَ " قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الَّذِي يُغْمَسُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ: " فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: هَلْ رَأَيْتَ بُؤْسًا قَطُّ، يَقُولُ: " لَا وَعِزَّتِكَ وَجَلَالِكَ ".
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) informed Sa'id bin al-Musayyab and Ata bin Yazid al-Laythi that the people said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Messenger of Allah! Will we see our Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, on the Day of Resurrection?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on the night of the full moon when there are no clouds?" They said: No, O Messenger of Allah! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?" They said: No, O Messenger of Allah! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then you will see Allah Almighty in the same way." He mentioned the hadith. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man will remain between Paradise and Hell, and he will be the last person to enter Paradise."
"His face will be turned towards Hell. He will say: 'O Allah! Turn my face away from Hell; its heat is scorching my face.' Allah Almighty will say: 'If I grant you this request, will you not ask for something else?' The servant will say: 'O Allah! By Your might, I will not ask again.' He will give Allah whatever covenant Allah wills, so Allah will turn his face away from Hell. When his face is turned towards Paradise, he will see its splendour and remain silent for as long as Allah wills, then he will say: 'O Allah! Bring me near to the gate of Paradise.' Allah Almighty will say: 'Did you not promise that you would not ask again?' He will say: 'O Allah! I will not be the most wretched of Your creation.' Allah Almighty will say: 'Then will you ask for something else?' He will say: 'O Allah! By Your might, I will not ask again.'" He mentioned the hadith. At its end: when he is given permission to enter Paradise, Allah Almighty will say: "Make a wish." When all his wishes come to an end, Allah Almighty will say: "Wish for such and such." Allah will keep reminding him, until, when all his wishes have come to an end, (Allah will say): "All this is yours, and as much again with it." Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is yours, and ten times as much with it."
(b) Concerning Ayyub (peace be upon him), it is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that he said: 'Bi'izzatika la ghina bi 'an barakatik' (By Your might, I am never free of need of Your blessing).
(c) Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the story of Hell, that it will say: 'Qat qat, wa 'izzatik' (By Your might, enough, enough).
(d) Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the man who will be given a single dip in Paradise (that is, shown around it): it will be said to him: "Did you ever see any hardship in the world?" He will say: "By Your might and majesty, I never saw any hardship."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أنبأ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، ثنا مَعْبَدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ الْعَنَزِيُّ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ وَسَمَّاهُمْ لَنَا، نَسْأَلُهُ، عَنْ حَدِيثِ الشَّفَاعَةِ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ فِي سُؤَالِهِ، وَجَوَابِهِ، وَخُرُوجِهِمْ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، وَدُخُولِهِمْ عَلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ، قَالَ الْحَسَنُ: حَدَّثَنِي كَمَا حَدَّثَكُمْ، قَالَ:، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فَأَجِيءُ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ، فَأَحْمَدُ بِتِلْكَ الْمَحَامِدِ، ثُمَّ أَخِرُّ لَهُ سَاجِدًا "، ⦗٧٤⦘ فَيُقَالُ لِي: " يَا مُحَمَّدُ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ، قُلْ، يُسْمَعْ لَكَ، وَسَلْ تُعْطَهْ، وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ "، فَأَقُولُ: " يَا رَبِّ، ائْذَنْ لِي فِيمَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ "، فَيَقُولُ: " لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْكَ، وَلَكِنِّي، وَعِزَّتِي، وَكِبْرِيَائِي، وَعَظَمَتِي، لَأُخْرِجَنَّ مِنْهَا مَنْ قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ "، رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، زَادَ فِيهِ " وَجَلَالِي "، وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ، وَغَيْرِهِ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ.
Ma'bad bin Hilal al-Anazi said: I came to Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) with a group of the people of Basrah — and he named them for us — to ask him about the hadith of intercession. He mentioned the hadith: the questions and answers, their leaving him, and their coming to al-Hasan bin Abi al-Hasan (al-Basri). Al-Hasan said: He narrated it to me just as he narrated it to you. Then he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I will come the fourth time and praise Allah with those praises, then I will fall down in prostration. It will be said to me: 'O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! Raise your head; speak, and you will be heard; ask, and you will be given; intercede, and your intercession will be accepted.' I will say: 'O my Lord! Grant me permission concerning those who said "La ilaha illallah" (there is no god worthy of worship except Allah).' Allah Almighty will say: 'That is not for you; but by My might, My grandeur and My greatness, I will surely bring out of it whoever said "La ilaha illallah" (there is no god worthy of worship except Allah).'"
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّرِيفَانِ أَبُو الْفَتْحِ نَاصِرُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْعُمَرِيُّ، وَأَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَشْعَثَ الْقُرَشِيُّ، قَالَا: أنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ، أنبأ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا شَيْبَانُ، ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَوْلًى لِأَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ عَلَى حُذَيْفَةَ، فَقَالَ: اعْهَدْ إِلِيَّ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: أَلَمْ يَأْتِكَ الْيَقِينُ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى، وَعِزَّةِ رَبِّي، قَالَ: " فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الضَّلَالَةَ حَقَّ الضَّلَالَةِ أَنْ تَعْرِفَ مَا كُنْتَ تُنْكِرُ، وَأَنْ تُنْكِرَ مَا كُنْتَ تَعْرِفُ، وَإِيَّاكَ وَالتَّلَوُّنَ، فَإِنَّ دِينَ اللهِ وَاحِدٌ ".
Humayd bin Hilal (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A freed slave of Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to me that Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Give me your counsel." He said: "Has certainty not come to you?" He said: "Indeed it has, by the might of my Lord!" He said: "The true misguidance is that you come to approve what you (formerly) rejected, and to reject what you (formerly) approved. And beware of wavering between views, for the religion of Allah is one."
وَأَخْبَرَنَا الشَّرِيفَانِ أَبُو الْفَتْحِ، وَأَبُو عَلِيٍّ، قَالَا: أنبأ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ، أنبأ شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ فَيَّاضٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عِيَاضٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، أَوْ سُئِلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ عَنِ الْخَمْرِ؟ فَقَالَ: " لَا وَسَمْعِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، لَا يَحِلُّ بَيْعُهَا، وَلَا ابْتِيَاعُهَا ".
Abu Iyad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), or Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked (while I was listening), about wine. He said: By the hearing of Allah, it is not permissible to sell it or to buy it.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ شَوْذَبَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، ثنا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ حَلَفَ بِسُورَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَعَلَيْهِ بِكُلِّ آيَةِ كَفَّارَةٌ، إِنْ شَاءَ بَرَّ، وَإِنْ شَاءَ فَجَرَ ".
Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) reports from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever swears by a surah of the Qur'an owes an expiation for every verse; (then) if he wishes he may keep true (to his oath), and if he wishes he may break it."
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْأَرَدَسْتَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو نَصْرٍ الْعِرَاقِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ حَلَفَ بِسُورَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، فَعَلَيْهِ بِكُلِّ آيَةٍ يَمِينُ صَبْرٍ، مَنْ شَاءَ بَرَّ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَجَرَ "،.
Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) reports from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever swears by a surah of the Qur'an, then for every verse there is (the expiation of) a binding oath; whoever wishes may keep true (to it), and whoever wishes may break it."
قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَهُ، هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ إِنَّمَا رُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهَيْنِ جَمِيعًا مُرْسَلًا، وَرُوِيَ عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ الضَّحَّاكِ مَوْصُولًا مَرْفُوعًا، وَإِسْنَادُهُ ضَعِيفٌ، وَرُوِيَ فِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ.
(Sufyan narrated) from Layth, from Mujahid, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), similarly.
This hadith has been narrated only through two routes, both of them mursal. It has also been narrated from Sayyiduna Thabit bin al-Dahhak (may Allah be pleased with him) as marfu' and mawsul (connected), but its chain is weak. Something on this has also been narrated from Abdullah bin Mas'ud.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، أنبأ أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الضَّبِّيُّ، ثنا ⦗٧٥⦘ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي كَنَفٍ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَمْشِي مَعَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي سُوقِ الدَّقِيقِ، إِذْ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَحْلِفُ بِسُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: إِنَّ عَلَيْهِ لِكُلِّ آيَةٍ مِنْهَا يَمِينًا، قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ فَقَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: " مَنْ حَلَفَ بِالْقُرْآنِ فَعَلَيْهِ بِكُلِّ آيَةٍ يَمِينٌ، وَمَنْ كَفَرَ بِآيَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ بِهِ كُلِّهِ ".
Abdullah bin Murrah (may Allah have mercy on him) reports from Abu Kanaf (may Allah have mercy on him), who said: We were walking with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) in the flour market when he suddenly heard a man swearing by Surah al-Baqarah. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He owes the expiation of an oath for every verse of it. Al-A'mash (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I mentioned this to Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him), and he said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Whoever swears by the Qur'an owes the expiation of an oath for every verse, and whoever disbelieves in one verse of the Qur'an has disbelieved in all of it.
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرٍ، أنبأ أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْهُذَيْلِ، عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنِ خُوَيْلِدٍ الْعَنْبَرِيِّ، قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى أَتَى السُّدَّةَ - سُدَّةً بِالسُّوقِ - فَاسْتَقْبَلَهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِهَا، وَخَيْرِ أَهْلِهَا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا، وَشَرِّ أَهْلِهَا "، ثُمَّ مَشَى حَتَّى أَتَى دَرَجَ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَسَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَحْلِفُ بِسُورَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، فَقَالَ: " يَا حَنْظَلَةُ أَتَرَى هَذَا يُكَفِّرُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، إِنَّ كُلَّ آيَةٍ كَفَّارَةٌ، أَوْ قَالَ: يَمِينٌ "، وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ مِسْعَرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ، وَقَالَ شُعْبَةُ: سُوَيْدُ بْنُ حَنْظَلَةَ، وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ: هُوَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ حَنْظَلَةَ.
Hanzalah bin Khuwaylid al-Anbari (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I went out with Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) until he came to the Suddah (a raised place in the market). He turned towards it and said: (O Allah) I ask You for its good and the good of its people, and I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil of its people. Then he walked on until he came to the steps of the mosque, and he heard a man swearing by (a surah of) the Qur'an. He said: O Hanzalah! Do you think this man will expiate his oath? For every verse there is an expiation — or he said: an oath.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْأَرَدَسْتَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو نَصْرٍ الْعِرَاقِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْهُذَيْلِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَسَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَحْلِفُ بِسُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ، فَقَالَ: " أَتُرَاهُ مُكَفَّرًا عَلَيْهِ بِكُلِّ آيَةٍ يَمِينٌ ". فَقُولُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، مَعَ الْحَدِيثِ الْمُرْسَلِ فِيهِ دَلِيلٌ عَلَى أَنَّ الْحَلِفَ بِالْقُرْآنِ يَكُونُ يَمِينًا فِي الْجُمْلَةِ، ثُمَّ التَّغْلِيظُ فِي الْكَفَّارَةِ مَتْرُوكٌ بِالْإِجْمَاعِ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hanzalah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), and he heard a man swearing by the Qur'an. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Do you think he owes the expiation of an oath for every verse?"
The statement of Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), together with the mursal hadith, is evidence that swearing by the Qur'an counts as an oath in general; but the added severity in the expiation (one for every verse) has been abandoned by consensus.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْمُزَكِّي، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبْدُوسٍ الْعَنَزِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيَّ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيَّ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ: " أَدْرَكْتُ النَّاسَ مُنْذُ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةٍ يَقُولُونَ: اللهُ الْخَالِقُ، وَمَا سِوَاهُ مَخْلُوقٌ، وَالْقُرْآنُ كَلَامُ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلِّ ".
Amr bin Dinar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: For seventy years I have found the people saying: Allah is the Creator, and everything besides Him is created, and the Qur'an is the speech of Allah.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الْفَقِيهُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ مَحْمُودٍ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ الرَّبِيعَ بْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ، يَقُولُ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ، أَنَّ حَفْصًا ⦗٧٦⦘ الْفَرْدَ نَاظَرَ الشَّافِعِيَّ، فَقَالَ حَفْصٌ: " الْقُرْآنُ مَخْلُوقٌ "، فَقَالَ لَهُ الشَّافِعِيُّ: " كَفَرْتَ بِاللهِ الْعَظِيمِ ".
Hafs said: The Qur'an is created. Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: You have disbelieved in Allah, the Magnificent.
