Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the frequency of swearing oaths, we see the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) swearing oaths frequently. Is it permissible for a person to swear an oath every time something passes by him?
The Shaykh : How many times did he speak? How many times did he speak?
The questioner : A great deal.
The Shaykh : So how many times did he speak from the time he was sent until he died? A hundred? Two hundred? Three hundred? Four hundred? Millions? And how many oaths have passed us by now? Not even ten.
The questioner : So does this indicate a great deal?
The Shaykh : No, it does not indicate a great deal. It indicates that he swore in places where swearing was needed, either to convince the one being addressed, or because of the importance of the matter, or for other reasons. He spoke a great deal, but his oaths were not proportional to his speech.
