حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ الشَّامِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَسَّانُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، - يَعْنِي الصَّائِغَ - عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، فِي اللَّغْوِ فِي الْيَمِينِ قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏

هُوَ كَلاَمُ الرَّجُلِ فِي بَيْتِهِ كَلاَّ وَاللَّهِ وَبَلَى وَاللَّهِ ‏"

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said about the futile oath: It is man's speech in his house: No, by Allah, and Yes, by Allah.

Abu Dawud said: Ibrahim al-Sa'igh, the narrator of this tradition , was a pious man. Abu Muslim killed him at 'Aranda. When he raised a hammed and heard the call to prayer, he gave it up.

Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Dawud b. Abi al-Furat from Ibrahim al-Sa'igh as a statement of 'Aishah (not attributed to the Prophet). Similarly, it has been transmitted by al-Zuhri, 'Abd al-Malik b. Abi Sulaiman and Malik b. Mughul. All of them transmitted it from 'Ata on the authority of 'Aishah on her own statement.

Reported by Abu Dawud (No. 3254).

( عَنْ عَطَاء ) : هُوَ اِبْن أَبِي رَبَاح ( هُوَ ) : أَيْ اللَّغْو فِي الْيَمِين ( كَلَام الرَّجُل فِي بَيْته ) : أَيْ لَمْ يَكُنْ صَادِرًا عَنْ عَقْد قَلْب وَإِنَّمَا جَرَى بِهِ اللِّسَان عَلَى سَبِيل الْعَادَة ( كَلَا وَاَللَّه وَبَلَى وَاَللَّه ) : فِيهِ دَلِيل عَلَى أَنَّ اللَّغْو مِنْ الْأَيْمَان مَا لَا يَكُون عَنْ قَصْد الْحَلِف وَإِنَّمَا جَرَى عَلَى اللِّسَان مِنْ غَيْر إِرَادَة الْحَلِف. وَإِلَى تَفْسِير اللَّغْو بِهَذَا ذَهَبَ الشَّافِعِيّ , وَنَقَلَهُ اِبْن الْمُنْذِر عَنْ اِبْن عُمَر وَابْن عَبَّاس وَغَيْرهمَا مِنْ الصَّحَابَة وَجَمَاعَة مِنْ التَّابِعِينَ. وَأَخْرَجَ الْبُخَارِيّ مَوْقُوفًا عَلَى عَائِشَة قَالَتْ " قَوْله تَعَالَى { لَا يُؤَاخِذكُمْ اللَّه بِاللَّغْوِ } أُنْزِل…
