Narrated Zahdam: There was a relation of love and brotherhood between this tribe of Jarm and Al-Ash`ariyin. Once we
were with Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari, and then a meal containing chicken was brought to Abu Musa, and
there was present, a man from the tribe of Taimillah who was of red complexion as if he were from
non-Arab freed slaves. Abu Musa invited him to the meal. He said, “I have seen chickens eating dirty
things, so I deemed it filthy and took an oath that I would never eat chicken.” On that, Abu Musa said,
“Get up, I will narrate to you about that. Once a group of the Ash`ariyin and I went to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
and asked him to provide us with mounts; he said, ‘By Allah, I will never give you any mounts nor do
I have anything to mount you on.’ Then a few camels of war booty were brought to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ,
and he asked about us, saying, ‘Where are the Ash-‘ariyin?’ He then ordered five nice camels to be
given to us, and when we had departed, we said, ‘What have we done? Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had taken the
oath not to give us any mounts, and that he had nothing to mount us on, and later he gave us that we
might ride? Did we take advantage of the fact that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had forgotten his oath? By Allah,
we will never succeed.’ So we went back to him and said to him, ‘We came to you to give us mounts,
and you took an oath that you would not give us any mounts and that you had nothing to mount us on.’
On that he said, ‘I did not provide you with mounts, but Allah did. By Allah, if I take an oath to do
something, and then find something else better than it, I do that which is better and make expiation for
the dissolution of the oath.’ ”

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever swears saying in his oath. ‘By Al-Lat and Al-`Uzza,’ should say, ‘None
has the right to be worshipped but Allah; and whoever says to his friend, ‘Come, let me gamble with
you,’ should give something in charity.”

Narrated Ibn `Umar: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had a gold ring made for himself, and he used to wear it with the stone towards the
inner part of his hand. Consequently, the people had similar rings made for themselves. Afterwards
the Prophet; sat on the pulpit and took it off, saying, “I used to wear this ring and keep its stone
towards the palm of my hand.” He then threw it away and said, “By Allah, I will never wear it.”
Therefore all the people threw away their rings as well.

Narrated Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever swears by a religion other than Islam, is, as he says; and whoever
commits suicide with something, will be punished with the same thing in the (Hell) Fire; and cursing a
believer is like murdering him; and whoever accuses a believer of disbelief, then it is as if he had
killed him.”

Narrated Abu Hurairah that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, “Allah decided to test three people from Bani Isra’il. So, He sent an angel who came first to the leper and said, ‘(I am a traveller) who has run short of all means of living, and I have nobody to help me except Allah, and then with your help.’” Abu Hurairah then mentioned the complete narration.

Narrated Al-Bara: The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to help others to fulfill the oaths.

Narrated Usama: Once a daughter of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) sent a message to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) while Usama, Sa`d, and my
father or Ubai were (sitting there) with him. She said, (in the message); My child is going to die;
please come to us.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) returned the messenger and told him to convey his greetings to
her, and say, “Whatever Allah takes, is for Him and whatever He gives is for Him, and everything
with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world): so she should be patient and hope for Allah’s
reward.” Then she again sent for him swearing that he should come; so The Prophet (ﷺ) got up, and so did
we. When he sat there (at the house of his daughter), the child was brought to him, and he took him
into his lap while the child’s breath was disturbed in his chest. The eyes of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) started
shedding tears. Sa`d said, “What is this, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “This is the mercy
which Allah has lodged in the hearts of whoever He wants of His slaves, and verily Allah is merciful
only to those of His slaves who are merciful (to others).’

Narrated Abu Musa: I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) along with a group of Al-Ash`ariyin in order to request him to provide us with
mounts. He said, “By Allah, I will not provide you with mounts and I haven’t got anything to mount
you on.” Then we stayed there as long as Allah wished us to stay, and then three very nice looking
she-camels were brought to him and he made us ride them. When we left, we, or some of us, said, “By
Allah, we will not be blessed, as we came to the Prophet (ﷺ) asking him for mounts, and he swore that he
would not give us any mounts but then he did give us. So let us go back to the Prophet (ﷺ) and remind
him (of his oath).” When we returned to him (and reminded him of the fact), he said, “I did not give
you mounts, but it is Allah Who gave you. By Allah, Allah willing, if I ever take an oath to do
something and then I find something else than the first, I will make expiation for my oath and do the
thing which is better (or do something which is better and give the expiation for my oath).

Narrated Al-Bara ‘bin `Azib: A piece of silken cloth was given to the Prophet (ﷺ) as a present and the people handed it over amongst
themselves and were astonished at its beauty and softness. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Are you astonished
at it?” They said, “Yes, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!” He said, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, the
handkerchiefs of Sa`d in Paradise are better than it.”

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “We (Muslims) are the last in the world, but will be foremost on the Day of
Resurrection.”
