[Machine] An ink brought from the inks to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and he said, "O Muhammad! What a good nation you are if it were not for your association (of partners with Allah)!" He said, "Glory be to Allah! And what is that?" He said, "You say when you take an oath, 'By the Ka'bah, then that is it.' The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , remained silent for a while, then he said, "Indeed, he has said. So whoever takes an oath, let him swear by the Lord of the Ka'bah." Then he said, "O Muhammad! What a good nation you are if it were not for you making partners for Allah." He said, "Glory be to Allah! And what is that?" He said, "You say, 'What Allah wills and you will,' The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , remained silent for a while, then he said, "Indeed, he has said that. So whoever says, 'What Allah wills and you will,' let him separate between them, then do as he wills."  

أحمد:٢٧٠٩٣حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَعْبَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ قُتَيْلَةَ بِنْتِ صَيْفِيٍّ الْجُهَنِيَّةِ قَالَتْ

أَتَى حَبْرٌ مِنَ الْأَحْبَارِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ نِعْمَ الْقَوْمُ أَنْتُمْ لَوْلَا أَنَّكُمْ تُشْرِكُونَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ تَقُولُونَ إِذَا حَلَفْتُمْ وَالْكَعْبَةِ قَالَتْ فَأَمْهَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ قَالَ فَمَنْ حَلَفَ فَلْيَحْلِفْ بِرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ نِعْمَ الْقَوْمُ أَنْتُمْ لَوْلَا أَنَّكُمْ تَجْعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ تَقُولُونَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ وَشِئْتَ قَالَ فَأَمْهَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ قَالَ فَمَنْ قَالَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ فَلْيَفْصِلْ بَيْنَهُمَا ثُمَّ شِئْتَ
