Combining the hadith of "May he succeed, and his father" with the prohibition against swearing by fathers?

Question : The questioner says: How do you reconcile the hadith in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a man, "May he succeed, and his father," with the hadith in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited swearing by other than Allah?

Answer : Yes, the correct view is that the phrase "and his father" is an anomalous (shadhdh) word that is not authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Based on this, we are relieved of all concern, because it does not contradict the prohibition of a person swearing by his father, which is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): . The correct view is that this anomalous word was reported exclusively by some narrators in Muslim, which is why it was not in Sahih al-Bukhari. Rather, it was reported exclusively by some narrators in Sahih Muslim. And if it is anomalous, it is known among scholars that an anomalous report is not relied upon, not acted upon, and not attributed to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
