Riyad al-SalihinAl-Nawawi

318 – Chapter: The disapproval of swearing oaths when selling, even when one is truthful.

1729 – Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “An oath promotes the commodity(1) but eradicates the blessing of the profit.” Agreed upon.

1730 – Abu Qatadah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “Beware of frequent oaths in sales; they may first make the goods sell, but then they destroy (the blessing).” Narrated by Muslim.

319 – Chapter: The disapproval of asking by the Face of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, for anything other than Paradise, and the disapproval of refusing one who asks by Allah or seeks intercession through Him.

1731 – Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, related that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Nothing should be asked by the Face of Allah except Paradise.” Narrated by Abu Dawud(2).

1732 – Ibn ʿUmar, may Allah be pleased with them both, reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Whoever seeks refuge with Allah, grant him refuge; whoever asks you by Allah, give to him; whoever invites you, respond to him; and whoever does you a favor, repay him. If you find nothing with which to repay him(3), then supplicate for him until you think you have repaid him.” An authentic hadith narrated by Abu Dawud and al-Nasāʾī with chains that meet the conditions of al-Bukhārī and Muslim.

(1) The phrase al-halif manfaqah (oaths are a manfaqah) – the word manfaqah is read with an open mīm, a silent nūn, and a qāf after the fā – means that frequent swearing is a likely breeding-ground for hypocrisy. The term as-silʿah, with a short i on the sīn and lām, simply denotes “merchandise.” The Prophet’s words, “mamhikat lil-kasb,” signify that it wipes out the blessing and increase normally attendant on one’s earnings. (2) I note that its isnad (chain of transmission) is weak; for details see al-Mishkat, no. 1944. (3) The original manuscript reads “tukāfiʾūnahu bihi,” but the correct wording follows the Sunan collections; cf. ʿAwn al-Maʿbūd, vol. 5, pp. 89–90.
٣١٨ - باب كراهة الحلف في البيع وإن كان صادقاً ١٧٢٩ - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ : « الْحَلِفُ مَنْفَقَةٌ (١) لِلسِّلْعَةِ ، مَمْحَقَةٌ لِلْكَسْبِ » متفق عليه . ١٧٣٠ - وعن أبي قتادة رضي الله عنه ، أنه سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ، يَقُولُ : « إِيَّاكُمْ وَكَثْرَةَ الْحَلِفِ فِي الْبَيْعِ ، فَإِنَّهُ يُنْفِقُ ثُمَّ يَمْحَقُ » رواه مسلم . ٣١٩ - باب كراهة أن يسأل الإنسان بوجه الله عز وجل غير الجنة ، وكراهة منع من سأل بالله تعالى وتشفع به ١٧٣١ - عن جابر رضي الله عنه قال : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ : « لَا يُسْأَلُ بِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْجَنَّةُ » رواه أبو داود (٢) . ١٧٣٢ - وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ : « مَنْ اسْتَعَاذَ بِاللَّهِ ، فَأَعِيذُوهُ ، وَمَنْ سَأَلَ بِاللَّهِ ، فَأَعْطُوهُ ، وَمَنْ دَعَاكُمْ ، فَأَجِيبُوهُ ، وَمَنْ صَنَعَ إِلَيْكُمْ مَعْرُوفًا فَكَافِئُوهُ ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا مَا تُكَافِئُوا بِهِ (٣) فَادْعُوا لَهُ حَتَّى تَرَوْا أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ كَافَأْتُمُوهُ » . حديث صحيح رواه أبو داود ، والنسائي بأسانيد الصحيحين .
(١) الحلف منفقة بفتح الميم وسكون النون بينهما وبعد الفاء قاف أي : هي مظنة لنفاقها وموضع له . و(السلعة) بكسر السين المهملة واللام المهملة : البضاعة . وقوله ﷺ : « ممحقة للكسب » أي : مذهبة للبركة والزيادة . (٢) قلت : إسناده ضعيف ، وبيانه في « المشكاة » (١٩٤٤) - ن - . (٣) في الأصل « تكافؤونه به » والتصويب من السنن وانظر العون ج ٥ ص ٨٩ ، ٩٠ .
