Sunan Abi Dawud 3255 (Book 22, Hadith 14) #23545
Making Oaths

SUMMARY: Oaths should be made about something that the other person will believe.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah as saying: Your oath should be about something regarding which your companion will believe you. Musaddad said: 'Abd Allah b. Abi Salih narrated to me. Abu Dawud said: Both of them refer to the same person: 'Abbad b. Abu Salih and 'Abd Allah b. Abi Salih.
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ أَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ يَمِينُكَ عَلَى مَا يُصَدِّقُكَ عَلَيْهَا صَاحِبُكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ هُمَا وَاحِدٌ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ وَعَبَّادُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about making oaths and promises. It is narrated by Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said that one's oath should be about something which the other person will believe in. This means that when making an oath or promise, it should be done with trustworthiness and honesty so that the other person can have faith in it. The hadith also mentions 'Abd Allah b. Abi Salih who was a companion of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He was known for his trustworthiness and reliability which makes this hadith even more important as it emphasizes on being honest when making an oath or promise to someone else.
