Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates in the square of Kufah: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) conquered Makkah, some people of Quraysh came to him and said: Some of our slaves and servants have joined you; their purpose is not the religion but only to flee from our livestock and our fields. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people of Quraysh! By Allah, you will surely establish the prayer and pay the zakah, or else I will send against you a man who will strike your necks for the sake of the religion." Then he said: "It will be me, or the one who is mending the sandal." Sayyiduna Ali says: At that time I was mending the sandal of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever lies about me will enter the Fire." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting with his Companions talking with them; then he (peace and blessings be upon him) got up and went (into his house). Zayd (who was the youngest of them) sat in his (peace and blessings be upon him) place and began narrating to the Companions the sayings of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Meanwhile, a gift of meat came for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The people said to Zayd: O Abu Sa'id! Go to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), convey our greetings of peace to him and say: Your Companions say that, if you see fit, you might send us some of this meat. (When Zayd went,) he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go back to them, for they have already eaten meat after you left." Zayd came back and told them: I have conveyed your message, but he (peace and blessings be upon him) said that they have already eaten meat. The people said: We have not eaten any meat; this seems to be something significant. Let us go and ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ourselves. They came and said: O Messenger of Allah! We sent word to you about the meat, and Zayd claims that we have already eaten meat, yet by Allah, we have not eaten any meat. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is as though I can see the green (trace) of Zayd's flesh in your teeth" (meaning: you have backbitten him by talking about him behind his back). They said: O Messenger of Allah! Seek forgiveness for us. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for forgiveness for them. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Sayyiduna Suwayd bin Hanzalah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We set out to go to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and Sayyiduna Wa'il bin Hujr (may Allah be pleased with him) was with us. On the way, an enemy of his seized him. The people hesitated to swear an oath (to free him), but I swore that he was my brother, so the enemy let him go. When we came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I told him (peace and blessings be upon him) that the others had hesitated while I had sworn that he was my brother. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You spoke the truth; a Muslim is the brother of a Muslim (so this oath of yours was not false)." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In what a person does not own, his divorce does not take effect, nor is his freeing of a slave valid, nor is a vow valid over something he does not own; and an oath sworn to disobey Allah or to sever ties of kinship has no legal standing." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Sa'id bin al-Musayyib narrates that there was a matter of dividing an inheritance between two brothers of the Ansar. One of them asked the other (for the division), and he swore: If you ask me again, I will never speak to you, and all my wealth is dedicated to the Ka'bah. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Ka'bah has no need of your wealth; expiate your oath and speak to your brother, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "No oath or vow is binding upon you in disobedience to Allah, in severing ties of kinship, or in what you do not own." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Tamim al-Ta'i narrates that a man came to Sayyiduna Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: I have married a woman, so give me (some help). He offered to write him an order for a coat of mail and a helmet, but the man was displeased with it, whereupon Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) swore that he would not give them to him. The man said: I was hoping you would give me a servant. He said: By Allah, these two are dearer to me than two servants. The man said: Then write me an order for them. Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Had I not heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say, "If one of you swears an oath and then sees something better than it, let him do what is better," I would not have given them to you; then he wrote the order for them for him. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it with this wording.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that Allah granted His Messenger some camels as spoils (fay'), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed them. Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, give me a share. He said: "No." He asked him three times, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I will not do it." Then four camels with white humps remained, and he said: "O Abu Musa, take them." He said: O Messenger of Allah, I feel shy; I asked you and you refused me and swore, and I feared that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) might have become mistaken. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When I swear an oath and then see that something other than it is better, I expiate my oath and do what is better." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

The Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) swore an oath about something, he would not break it, until Allah Almighty revealed the ruling on the expiation of oaths. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Now, when I swear an oath about something and see good in something else, I give the expiation for my oath and do that in which there is good." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever stubbornly persists in an oath (that causes harm) sworn concerning his family, that is a cause of greater sin for him (than breaking the oath)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Bukhari.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you obstinately holds to an oath sworn concerning his family (even though breaking the oath would be better), this deed of his is more sinful in the sight of Allah than paying the expiation he has been commanded to give." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
