Question:
The inclusion of the last two hadiths here (hadiths about swearing by al-Lat and the fathers in the chapter on those who did not declare a disbeliever one who said that, interpreting it or being ignorant)?
Answer:
Because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not declare them disbelievers; rather, he commanded them not to swear except by Allah alone. This had been on their tongues, so when they were interpreting it according to the old way and the old custom, he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from it.
