Narated By 'Aisha : Abu Bakr As-Siddiq had never broken his oaths till Allah revealed the expiation for the oaths.
Then he said, "If I take an oath to do something and later on I find something else better than the first one, then I
do what is better and make expiation for my oath."

-----------------------------------------
Narated By 'Abdur-Rahman bin Samura : The Prophet said, "O 'Abdur-Rahman bin Samura! Do not seek to be a
ruler, because if you are given authority for it, then you will be held responsible for it, but if you are given it without
asking for it, then you will be helped in it (by Allah): and whenever you take an oath to do something and later you
find that something else is better than the first, then do the better one and make expiation for your oath."

Narated By Abu Musa : I went to the Prophet 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 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 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)."

Narated By Abu Huraira : The Prophet said, "We (Muslims) are the last in the world, but will be foremost on the

may harm his family, he commits a greater sin in Allah's sight than that of dissolving his oath and making expiation
for it."

-----------------------------------------
Narated By Abu Huraira : Allah's Apostle said, "Anyone who takes an oath through which his family may be
harmed, and insists on keeping it, he surely commits a sin greater (than that of dissolving his oath). He should
rather compensate for that oath by making expiation."

Narated By Ibn 'Umar : Allah's Apostle sent an army detachment and made Usama bin Zaid its commander. Some
people criticized (spoke badly of) Usama's leadership. So Allah's Apostle got up saying, "If you people are
criticizing Usama's leadership, you have already criticized the leadership of his father before. But Wa-aimullah
(i.e., By Allah), he (i.e. Zaid) deserved the leadership, and he was one of the most beloved persons to me; and
now this (his son Usama) is one of the dearest persons to me after him." (See Hadith No. 745, Vol. 5)

He said, "My son was a labourer serving this (person) and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife,
The people said that my son is to be stoned to death, but I ransomed him with one-hundred sheep and a slave
girl. Then I asked the learned people, who informed me that my son should receive one hundred lashes and will
be exiled for one year, and stoning will be the lot for the man's wife." Allah's Apostle said, "Indeed, by Him in
Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge between you according to Allah's Laws: As for your sheep and slave girl, they
are to be returned to you." Then he scourged his son one hundred lashes and exiled him for one year. Then
Unais Al-Aslami was ordered to go to the wife of the second man, and if she confessed (the crime), then stone her
to death. She did confess, so he stoned her to death.

Narated By Abu Humaid As-Sa'idi : Allah's Apostle employed an employee (to collect Zakat). The employee
returned after completing his job and said, "O Allah's Apostle! This (amount of Zakat) is for you, and this (other
amount) was given to me as a present." The Prophet said to him, "Why didn't you stay at your father's or mother's
house and see if you would be given presents or not?" Then Allah's Apostle got up in the evening after the
prayer, and having testified that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and praised and glorified Allah as
He deserved, he said, "Now then ! What about an employee whom we employ and then he comes and says, 'This
amount (of Zakat) is for you, and this (amount) was given to me as a present'? Why didn't he stay at the house of
his father and mother to see if he would be given presents or not? By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is,
none of you will steal anything of it (i.e. Zakat) but will bring it by carrying it over his neck on the Day of
Resurrection. If it has been a camel, he will bring it (over his neck) while it will be grunting, and if it has been a
cow, he will bring it (over his neck), while it will be mooing; and if it has been a sheep, he will bring it (over his
neck) while it will be bleeding." The Prophet added, "I have preached you (Allah's Message)." Abu Humaid said,
"Then Allah's Apostle raised his hands so high that we saw the whiteness of his armpits."

saying his statement. I could not remain quiet, and Allah knows in what sorrowful state I was at that time. So I said,
' Who are they (the losers)? Let My father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "They

women, each of whom will bring forth a (would-be) cavalier who will fight in Allah's Cause." On this, his companion
said to him, "Say: Allah willing!" But he did not say Allah willing. Solomon then slept with all the women, but none of
them became pregnant but one woman who later delivered a half-man. By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul
is, if he (Solomon) had said, 'Allah willing' (all his wives would have brought forth boys) and they would have
fought in Allah's Cause as cavaliers."

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 Apostle 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 Apostle , 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 Apostle 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 Apostle 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.'"

so she should be patient and hope for Allah's reward." Then she again sent for him swearing that he should

Narated By 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 Apostle 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 Apostle , 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 Apostle 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 Apostle 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.'"

and ordered the man to lead him by the hand.

Narated By Ibn 'Abbas : While the Prophet was delivering a sermon, he saw a man standing, so he asked about
that man. They (the people) said, "It is Abu Israil who has vowed that he will stand and never sit down, and he will
never come in the shade, nor speak to anybody, and will fast.'' The Prophet said, "Order him to speak and let him
come in the shade, and make him sit down, but let him complete his fast."

Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Umar : That he was asked about a man who had vowed that he would fast all the days
of his life then the day of 'Id al Adha or 'Id-al-Fitr came. 'Abdullah bin 'Umar said: You have indeed a good
example in Allah's Apostle. He did not fast on the day of 'Id al Adha or the day of 'Id-al-Fitr, and we do not intend
fasting on these two days.

Narated By Ziyad bin Jubair : I was with Ibn 'Umar when a man asked him, "I have vowed to fast every Tuesday or
Wednesday throughout my life and if the day of my fasting coincided with the day of Nahr (the first day of
'Id-al-Adha), (What shall I do?)" Ibn 'Umar said, "Allah has ordered the vows to be fulfilled, and we are forbidden to
fast on the day of Nahr." The man repeated his question and Ibn 'Umar repeated his former answer, adding
nothing more.

Narated By Abu Huraira : We went out in the company of Allah's Apostle on the day of (the battle of) Khaibar, and
we did not get any gold or silver as war booty, but we got property in the form of things and clothes. Then a man
called Rifa'a bin Zaid, from the tribe of Bani Ad-Dubaib, presented a slave named Mid'am to Allah's Apostle.
Allah's Apostle headed towards the valley of Al-Qura, and when he was in the valley of Al-Qura an arrow was
thrown by an unidentified person, struck and killed Mid'am who was making a she-camel of Allah's Apostle kneel
down. The people said, "Congratulations to him (the slave) for gaining Paradise." Allah's Apostle said, "No! By
Him in Whose Hand my soul is, for the sheet which he stole from the war booty before its distribution on the day of
Khaibar, is now burning over him." When the people heard that, a man brought one or two Shiraks (leather straps
of shoes) to the Prophet. The Prophet said, "A Shirak of fire, or two Shiraks of fire."
