النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

لَا تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ ، وَلَا بِأُمَّهَاتِكُمْ ، وَلَا بِالْأَنْدَادِ ، وَلَا تَحْلِفُوا إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ، وَلَا تَحْلِفُوا بِاللَّهِ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ صَادِقُونَ
