Sunan Abi Dawud 3271 (Book 22, Hadith 30) #23561
Expiation for Breaking Oaths

SUMMARY: Breaking an oath requires expiation, and this hadith is a reminder of that.

A similar tradition has also been transmitted by 'Abd al-Rahman b. Abi Bakr through a different chain of narrators. This version adds on the authority of Salim: "Expiation (for breaking the oath) has not reached me".
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا سَالِمُ بْنُ نُوحٍ، وَعَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ نَحْوَهُ زَادَ عَنْ سَالِمٍ، فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ ‏:‏ وَلَمْ يَبْلُغْنِي كَفَّارَةً

Make promises you can keep; If you break your promise/oath then perform kaffarah; Follow the teachings and practices of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith reminds us that if we break an oath, we must make expiation for it. An oath is a promise or commitment made to God or another person, and breaking it is considered a sin in Islam. To make up for this sin, one must perform an act of expiation known as Kaffara. This could include fasting for two consecutive days or feeding ten poor people with the same amount of food they would normally eat in one day. Additionally, the hadith also mentions Sunnah which refers to the teachings and practices of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ which Muslims should follow as examples in their lives.
