Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ الضَّحَّاكِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَنْ حَلَفَ بِمِلَّةٍ سِوَى مِلَّةِ الإِسْلاَمِ كَاذِبًا فَهُوَ كَمَا قَالَ وَمَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ بِشَىْءٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا عُذِّبَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَيْسَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ نَذْرٌ فِيمَا لاَ يَمْلِكُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ishaq ibn Mansur reported to us; he said: Abu al-Mughira narrated to us; he said: al-Awzaʿi narrated to us; he said: Yahya narrated to me, from Abu Qilabah, from Thabit ibn al-Dahhak, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘Whoever falsely swears by a religion other than Islam is as he declared. Whoever kills himself with something in this world will be punished with it on the Day of Resurrection. And no vow is binding on a person concerning what he does not possess.’
