Collecting the hadith “Do not swear by your fathers” with “May he succeed and his father, if they are truthful”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When we combine the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), “Do not swear by your fathers,” with his saying, “May he succeed and his father, if they are truthful.”
Answer:
This is understood in two ways. “May he succeed and his father, if they are truthful” is understood in two ways. The first is that this was in the early period, and then it was abrogated and he prohibited it after that statement, so the hadiths prohibiting it abrogate this type of hadith. The second is that this was not intended as an oath. “May they succeed” — if this is truthful — was not intended as an oath, but is something that slips off the tongue without the intention of making an oath.
