Saeed ibn al-Musayyab said: There were two brothers among the Ansar who shared an inheritance. When one of them asked the other for the portion due to him, he replied: If you ask me again for the portion due to you, all my property will be devoted to the decoration of the Kabah. Umar said to him: The Kabah does not need your property. Make atonement for your oath and speak to your brother. I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say: An oath or vow to disobey the Lord, or to break ties of relationship or about something over which one has no control is not binding on you.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: A vow is binding in those things by which the pleasure of Allah is sought, and an oath to break ties of relationship is not binding.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: An oath or a vow about something over which a human being has no control, and to disobey Allah, and to break ties of relationship is not binding. If anyone takes an oath and then considers something else better than it, he should give it up, and do what is better, for leaving it is its atonement. Abu Dawud said: All sound traditions from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say: "He should make atonement for his oath, " except those versions which are not reliable. Abu Dawud said: I said to Ahmad: Yahya bin Saeed (al-Qattan) has transmitted this tradition from Yahya bin Ubaid Allah. He (Ahmad bin Hanbal) said: But he gave it up after that, and he was competent for doing it. Ahmad said: His (Yahya bin Ubaid Allah's) tradition are munkar (rejected) and his father is not known.
