Sunan an-Nasai 3773 (Book 35, Hadith 13) #18388
Swearing an Oath in Islam

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a Jew who accused the Prophet of setting up rivals to Allah and associating others with Him. The Prophet then instructed them to swear an oath by saying "By the Lord of the Ka'bah" and "Whatever Allah wills, then what you will".

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Yasar, from Qutaylah, a woman from Juhainah, that a Jew came to the Prophet and said: "You are setting up rivals (to Allah) and associating others (with Him). You say: 'Whatever Allah wills and you will,' and you say: 'By the Ka'bah'." So the Prophet commanded them, if they wanted to swear an oath, to say: "By the Lord of the Ka'bah;" and to say: "Whatever Allah wills, then what you will".
أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ قُتَيْلَةَ، - امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ - أَنَّ يَهُودِيًّا، أَتَى النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ تُنَدِّدُونَ وَإِنَّكُمْ تُشْرِكُونَ تَقُولُونَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَشِئْتَ وَتَقُولُونَ وَالْكَعْبَةِ ‏.‏ فَأَمَرَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ إِذَا أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا أَنْ يَقُولُوا ‏"‏ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَيَقُولُونَ ‏"‏ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ شِئْتَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Swear by saying "By The Lord Of The Ka'Bah" & "Whatever Allah Wills Then What You Will"

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how one should swear an oath in Islam. A Jew came to the Prophet and accused him of setting up rivals to Allah and associating others with Him. In response, the Prophet commanded them that if they wanted to swear an oath, they should say “By the Lord of the Ka’bah” and “Whatever Allah wills, then what you will”. This hadith teaches us that when we are swearing an oath or making a promise we must remember that it is ultimately up to God's will whether it comes true or not. We must also remember that our words have power so we should be careful when speaking as our words can have consequences for ourselves as well as those around us.
