Keeping Oaths

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) swore to stay away from his wives for a month, and after 29 days had passed, 'Aishah asked him if he was still keeping his oath. He replied that the month is 29 days.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah swore not to come to his wives for a month, and twenty-nine days passed. I said: 'Did you not wives to keep away from you wives for a month? I have counted twenty-nine days'. The Messenger of Allah said: 'The month is twenty-nine days"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ أَقْسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ لاَ يَدْخُلَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ شَهْرًا فَلَبِثَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ فَقُلْتُ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ كُنْتَ آلَيْتَ شَهْرًا فَعَدَدْتُ الأَيَّامَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ الشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of keeping one's oaths and promises. It was narrated by 'Aishah that the Prophet Muhammad swore not to come to his wives for a month, but after twenty-nine days had passed she asked him if he was still keeping his oath. The Prophet replied that the month is twenty-nine days, meaning that he kept his promise even though it was only for twenty-nine days instead of thirty. This teaches us how important it is to keep our word and fulfill our promises no matter how small they may be. We should always strive to be honest in all our dealings with others so as not to break any trust or commitments we have made with them.
