Sahih al-Bukhari 4860 (Book 65, Hadith 381) #4642
Forbidden Oaths and Gambling

SUMMARY: Taking an oath in the name of Lat and Uzza is forbidden, and whoever invites someone to gamble must give alms as an expiation.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said, "Whomever takes an oath in which he mentions Lat and Uzza (forgetfully), should say: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and whoever says to his companion'.Come along, let us gamble' must give alms (as an expiation).
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ حَلَفَ فَقَالَ فِي حَلِفِهِ وَاللاَّتِ وَالْعُزَّى‏.‏ فَلْيَقُلْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ‏.‏ وَمَنْ قَالَ لِصَاحِبِهِ تَعَالَ أُقَامِرْكَ‏.‏ فَلْيَتَصَدَّقْ

QUICK LESSONS:
Take an oath only in the name of Allah alone; Do not involve anyone else or anything else when making a promise or commitment; Do not invite others to gamble; Give alms as a form of expiation if you do so.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that taking an oath in the name of Lat and Uzza is forbidden. It also teaches us that if someone invites another person to gamble, they must give alms as a form of expiation. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that gambling is wrong because it involves taking something from someone else without giving anything in return. He also taught us that we should not take any kind of oath which includes mentioning any other gods besides Allah, because this goes against the teachings of Islam. We should always remember to only take an oath in the name of Allah alone, and never involve anyone else or anything else when making a promise or commitment.
