Translation

Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) explained Allah’s words, ‘Allah will not hold you accountable for unintentional oaths,’ as a man’s saying, ‘No, by Allah,’ and ‘Yes, by Allah.’ Al-Bukhari transmitted it as one of her own statements. The report is authentic; al-Bukhari transmitted it (6663). Abu Dawud transmitted it as a report attributed to the Prophet (3254), but indicated that it is actually Aishah’s own statement; this is the version al-Daraqutni graded authentic.
