ahmad:6932Yazīd > Muḥammad b. Isḥāq > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ said: "There is no divorce in what you do not possess, there is no freedom in what you do not possess, there is no vow in what you do not possess, and there is no vow in disobedience to Allah."  

أحمد:٦٩٣٢حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا طَلَاقَ فِيمَا لَا تَمْلِكُونَ وَلَا عَتَاقَ فِيمَا لَا تَمْلِكُونَ وَلَا نَذْرَ فِيمَا لَا تَمْلِكُونَ وَلَا نَذْرَ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللهِ

أحمد:٦٧٦٩حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بَكْرٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ مَطَرٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ طَلَاقٌ فِيمَالَا يَمْلِكُ وَلَا عَتَاقٌ فِيمَا لَا يَمْلِكُ وَلَا بَيْعٌ فِيمَا لَا يَمْلِكُ
