Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1531

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Mahmud bin Ghailan narrated to us: Abdus-Samad bin Abdul-Warith narrated to us; his father and Hammad bin Salamah narrated to me, from Ayyub, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever swears an oath and says, If Allah wills, has made an exception, so he is not liable for breaking it.” There is also a report on this topic from Abu Hurairah. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Ibn Umar is Hasan. Ubaidullah bin Umar and others narrated it from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, as a statement of Ibn Umar rather than attributing it to the Prophet. It was likewise narrated from Salim, from Ibn Umar, in that form. We know of no one who attributed it to the Prophet except Ayyub As-Sakhtiyani. Ismail bin Ibrahim said that Ayyub sometimes attributed it to the Prophet and sometimes did not. Most scholars among the Companions of the Prophet and others held that when the exception is made together with the oath, there is no liability for breaking it. This was the view of Sufyan Ath-Thawri, Al-Awzai, Malik bin Anas, Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak, Ash-Shafii, Ahmad, and Ishaq.
