Make promises only in the name of Allah and strive to keep them as much as possible . Seek guidance from Allah before taking any action or decision .

This hadith is about the prohibition of swearing by one's forefathers. It was narrated from Salim, from his father, that on one occasion the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ heard 'Umar saying "By my father and by my mother". The Prophet ﷺ then said "Allah forbids you to swear by your forefathers". Umar replied with a promise that he would never swear by them again whether for himself or for others. This hadith teaches us that we should not take oaths or make promises in the name of our ancestors as this is forbidden in Islam. We should only make promises in the name of Allah and strive to keep them as much as possible. We should also remember that Allah alone has control over all things and He is All-Knowing so we must always seek His guidance when making decisions or taking actions in our lives.
