Sunan Abi Dawud 3250 (Book 22, Hadith 9) #23540
The Importance of Not Swearing By One's Father

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of not swearing by one's father or anyone else.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Ibn 'Umar through a different chain of narrators to the same effect up to the words "by your fathers". This version adds: " 'Umar said: I swear by Allah, I never swore by it personally or reporting it from others".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ سَمِعَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ نَحْوَ مَعْنَاهُ إِلَى ‏ "‏ بِآبَائِكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ زَادَ قَالَ عُمَرُ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا حَلَفْتُ بِهَذَا ذَاكِرًا وَلاَ آثِرًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of respecting and honoring one’s parents. It is narrated by Ibn 'Umar that he heard the Prophet Muhammad say that it was forbidden to swear by one’s father or anyone else. He further said that he himself never swore by his father or reported others doing so. This hadith teaches us to respect our parents and not take their name in vain when we are making an oath. We should also be careful not to swear by any other person either as this is disrespectful and dishonorable behavior.

The Prophet Muhammad taught us through this hadith that we should always show respect for our elders and those around us, especially our parents who have done so much for us throughout our lives. We should never take their names in vain when making an oath as this shows a lack of respect for them and what they have done for us over the years. Instead, we should strive to honor them with every word we speak and action we take in life.
