حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ رَجُلاً يَحْلِفُ بِأَبِيهِ فَقَالَ " لاَ تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ مَنْ حَلَفَ بِاللَّهِ فَلْيَصْدُقْ وَمَنْ حُلِفَ لَهُ بِاللَّهِ فَلْيَرْضَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَرْضَ بِاللَّهِ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللَّهِ " .

Muhammad ibn Ismaʿil ibn Samurah narrated to us; Asbat ibn Muhammad narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn ʿAjlan, from Nafiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar, who said: The Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) heard a man swearing by his father and said, ‘Do not swear by your fathers. Whoever swears by Allah should speak truthfully, and whoever is asked to accept an oath by Allah should be satisfied with it. Whoever is not satisfied with an oath by Allah is not of Allah.’

قَالَ سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ رَجُلاً يَحْلِفُ بِأَبِيهِ فَقَالَ " لاَ تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ مَنْ حَلَفَ بِاللَّهِ فَلْيَصْدُقْ وَمَنْ حُلِفَ لَهُ بِاللَّهِ فَلْيَرْضَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَرْضَ بِاللَّهِ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللَّهِ " .
ومن حلف له بالله فليرض means that a person for whom another swears by Allah should be satisfied/accept that oath; ومن لم يرض بالله elliptically refers to not being satisfied with Allah’s oath.
Does supplying ‘with an oath by Allah’ in the final clause clarify the ellipsis while preserving the report’s intended reference?
