Think twice before making any promises or taking any oaths so you can ensure you are able to keep your word in the future if needed be!

This hadith is about the importance of fulfilling one's oaths or promises. It has been reported on the authority of Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters that people take an oath but do not fulfill it. This is further supported by other narrators such as Zahdam b. Mudarrib, 'Imran b. Husain, Yahya and Shababa, Bahz and Ibn Ja'far who all agree that people should not make an oath if they cannot fulfill it in the end. Making a promise or taking an oath is a serious matter in Islam as it involves making a commitment to Allah which must be fulfilled no matter what happens afterwards; otherwise one will be held accountable for breaking their promise or failing to keep their word on Judgment Day. Therefore this hadith serves as a reminder for us to think twice before making any promises or taking any oaths so we can ensure we are able to keep our word in the future if needed be!
