Sunan Abi Dawud 3272 (Book 22, Hadith 31) #23562
Breaking Oaths and Vows

SUMMARY: An oath or vow to disobey the Lord, or to break ties of relationship or about something over which one has no control is not binding on you.

Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab said: There were two brothers among the Ansar who shared an inheritance. When one of them asked the other for the portion due to him, he replied: If you ask me again for the portion due to you, all my property will be devoted to the decoration of the Ka'bah. Umar said to him: The Ka'bah does not need your property. Make atonement for your oath and speak to your brother. I heard the Messenger of Allah say: An oath or vow to disobey the Lord, or to break ties of relationship or about something over which one has no control is not binding on you.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، ‏:‏ أَنَّ أَخَوَيْنِ، مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا مِيرَاثٌ فَسَأَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ الْقِسْمَةَ فَقَالَ ‏:‏ إِنْ عُدْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ الْقِسْمَةِ فَكُلُّ مَالٍ لِي فِي رِتَاجِ الْكَعْبَةِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ ‏:‏ إِنَّ الْكَعْبَةَ غَنِيَّةٌ عَنْ مَالِكَ، كَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَكَلِّمْ أَخَاكَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏:‏ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَمِينَ عَلَيْكَ، وَلاَ نَذْرَ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ الرَّبِّ وَفِي قَطِيعَةِ الرَّحِمِ وَفِيمَا لاَ تَمْلِكُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Keep your promises and honor your commitments
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of keeping one's word and honoring oaths and vows. It teaches us that if we make an oath or vow to do something that goes against Allah's commands, it is not binding upon us. Furthermore, if we make a vow to break ties with our family members, it is also not binding upon us. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that we should always strive to keep our promises and honor our commitments but at the same time be mindful of what we are vowing for as some things are beyond our control. We should never make a promise that would go against Allah's commands as this would be considered sinful in Islam.
