22. Oaths and Vows
٢٢۔ كتاب الأيمان والنذور
The Prophet ﷺ said: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraysh; I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraysh; I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraysh. He then said: "If Allah wills." Abu Dawud said: A number of persons have narrated this tradition from Sharik, from Simak, from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbas who reported from the Prophet ﷺ: "But he did not fight against them."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
The Prophet ﷺ as saying: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish. The then said: If Allah wills. He again said: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish if Allah wills. He again said: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish. He then kept silence. Then he said: If Allah wills. Abu Dawud said: Al-Walid b. Muslim said on the authority of Sharik: He then said: But he did not fight against them.
وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا ثُمَّ سَكَتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
