حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ الطَّائِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ حَلَفَ بِالأَمَانَةِ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا»

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade and warned against swearing by the Amānah and that whoever does this is not one of us.

What it teaches

  • It is prohibited to swear by other than Allah Almighty, and this includes swearing by the Amānah, as this constitutes an act of minor Shirk (polytheism).
  • Amānah includes obedience, worship, trust, money, and security.
  • The oath is not effective or binding unless sworn by Allah Almighty or by one of His names or attributes.
  • Al-Khattābi said: The undesirability here is likely based on his command that one should swear by Allah and by His attributes, whereas the Amānah is not from His attributes; rather, it is one of His commands and one of the things that He has made obligatory. Therefore, they are prohibited from this because it implies equality between the Amānah and the names and attributes of Allah Almighty.
