وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ

يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَنْهَاكُمْ أَنْ تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ». قَالَ عُمَرُ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا حَلَفْتُ بِهَا مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْهَا ذَاكِرًا وَلَا آثِرًا

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Allah, the Great and Majestic, forbids you to swear by your fathers. Umar said: By Allah. I have never sworn (by my father) since I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbidding it mentioning them on my behalf nor on behalf of someone else.

আবদ ইবনু হুমায়দ (রহঃ) ..... যাকারিয়্যা ইবনু ইসহাকু (রহঃ) থেকে উক্ত সানাদে অনুরূপ বিষয়বস্তু সম্বলিত হাদীস বর্ণনা করেছেন। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৫১৭, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

روح نے کہا : ہمیں زکریا بن اسحاق نے حدیث سنائی ، انھوں نے کہا ، ہمیں عمرو بن دینار نے حدیث سنائی ، انہوں نے کہا : میں نے عطاء بن یسار سے سنا وہ کہہ رہے تھے : حضرت ابو ہریرۃ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت ہے اور انھوں نے نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے روایت کی کہ آپ نے فرمایا : " جب نماز کے لئے اقامت کہی جائے تو فرض نماز کے سوا کوئی نماز نہیں ہوتی ۔

Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku [Yahya bin Habib Al Haritsi] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Rauh] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Zakariya bin Ishaq] telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Amru bin Dinar] katanya; aku mendengar ['Atha` bin Yasar] mengatakan dari [Abu Hurairah] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, beliau bersabda: "Jika iqamat telah dikumandangkan, maka tidak ada shalat selain shalat wajib."

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abd bin Humaid] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Abdurrazaq] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Zakariya bin Ishaq] dengan sanad seperti ini. Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hasan Al Hulwani] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yazid bin Harun] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Hammad bin Zaid] dari [Ayyub] dari ['Amru bin Dinar] dari [Atha` bin Yasar] dari [Abu Hurairah] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam seperti hadits di atas.

[Hammad] mengatakan; "Aku pernah menemui ['Amr], lalu dia Menceritakan kepadaku, namun dia tidak memarfu'kannya

{….} Bize, bu hadîsi Abd b. Humeyd de rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Abdürrezzâk haber verdi. (Dediki): Bize Zekeriyyâ b. İshâk bu isnâdla, bu hadîsin mislini haber verdi

Sahih Muslim 1646a, Book 27, The Book of Oaths, Hadith 1. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that Allah Almighty forbids swearing by the forefathers. So, whoever wants to swear should swear by Allah only and none but Him. ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb, then, mentioned that ever since he heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) prohibit it, he never swore by other than Allah neither intentionally nor by reporting such an oath on behalf of others.

What it teaches

  • The prohibition of swearing by other than Allah, especially by the forefathers was a habit practiced in the pre-Islamic era of ignorance.
  • Swearing means taking an oath by Allah, His Names, or His Attributes regarding some matter as a form of affirmation.
  • The superiority of ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), given his quick compliance, good understanding, and prudence.
