Think carefully before making any kind of commitment and only make promises you are sure you can keep.

This hadith is narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas and it speaks about the advice given by the Prophet ﷺ to Abu Bakr. The Prophet ﷺ advised against taking an oath or adjuring an oath. Taking an oath is a serious matter and should not be done lightly as it can have serious consequences if broken. It is important to remember that one should not take any kind of vow or promise lightly as it can lead to negative outcomes if broken. This hadith teaches us that we should think carefully before making any kind of commitment and only make promises we are sure we can keep.
