Sunan Abi Dawud 3335 (Book 23, Hadith 10) #23625
The Blessing of Not Swearing

SUMMARY: Swearing can make a sale easier, but it takes away the blessing.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: I heard Messenger of Allah say: Swearing produces a ready sale for a commodity but blots out the blessing. The narrator Ibn al-Sarh said: "for earning". He also narrated this tradition from Sa'id b. al-Musayyab on the authority of Abu Hurairah from the Prophet .
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ إِنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ الْحَلِفُ مَنْفَقَةٌ لِلسِّلْعَةِ مَمْحَقَةٌ لِلْبَرَكَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ السَّرْحِ ‏"‏ لِلْكَسْبِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how swearing can make a sale easier but it takes away the blessing. It was narrated by Abu Hurairah and Sa'id b. al-Musayyab on the authority of Abu Hurairah from the Prophet (ﷺ). The narrator Ibn al-Sarh said that this tradition was for earning. This hadith teaches us that we should not swear in order to get something done or to earn money because it will take away any blessings associated with it. Instead, we should be patient and work hard in order to achieve our goals without resorting to swearing or cursing others. We should also remember that Allah is watching us at all times and He knows what we are doing so we must always strive to do good deeds in order to receive His blessings instead of relying on shortcuts like swearing or cursing others for our own gain.
