Translation

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported this version from the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace): ‘Do not swear by your fathers, your mothers, or equals [as partners with Allah]. Swear only by Allah, and do not swear by Allah unless you are truthful.’ Abu Dawud and al-Nasa’i transmitted it. It is authentic; Abu Dawud transmitted it (3248), and al-Nasa’i (7/5).
