There were two brothers among the Ansar who shared an inheritance. When one of them asked the other for the portion due to him, he replied: If you ask me again for the portion due to you, all my property will be devoted to the decoration of the Ka'bah. Umar said to him: The Ka'bah does not need your property. Make atonement for your oath and speak to your brother. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: An oath or vow to disobey the Lord, or to break ties of relationship or about something over which one has no control is not binding on you. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3272)   

أَنَّ أَخَوَيْنِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا مِيرَاثٌ فَسَأَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ الْقِسْمَةَ فَقَالَ لَئِنْ عُدْتَ سَأَلْتَنِي الْقِسْمَةَ لَا أُكَلِّمُكَ أَبَدًا وَكُلُّ مَالِي فِي رِتَاجِ الْكَعْبَةِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ إِنَّ الْكَعْبَةَ لَغَنِيَّةٌ عَنْ مَالِكَ كَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَكَلِّمْ أَخَاكَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَمِينَ عَلَيْكَ وَلَا نَذْرَ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ الرَّبِّ وَلَا فِي قَطِيعَةِ الرَّحِمِ وَلَا فِيمَا لَا تَمْلِكُ»

[Machine] Two brothers from the ansar had an inheritance between them, so one of them asked his companion for a distribution. The companion replied, "No, if you ask me for a distribution again, I will never speak to you. All the money I have is in the Riyat al-Kaaba." Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "Indeed, the Kaaba is rich enough without your wealth. So, make expiation for your oath and speak to your brother. Verily, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There is no oath or vow in that which angers the Lord, nor in cutting off ties of kinship, nor in that which one does not possess. Umar ibn al-Khattab's fatwa on expiation is proof that the intended meaning of the statement is not an oath, but rather it is a directive to take action and strive to maintain righteousness when one is in a state of disobedience. It is not that expiation is not necessary for a false oath; rather, this is also what is meant by the statement.
