[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the quickest good deed to be rewarded is maintaining family ties, and the quickest evil deed to be punished is transgression and false swearing. The patient one who commits sins continues to be in the abode of wickedness." Ash-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "May Allah have mercy on the one who deliberately falsely swears and says, 'By Allah, it was such and such,' and he does not disbelieve, but he has sinned and erred in the place where he deliberately swore by Allah falsely." Ash-Shafi'i said, "So if it is said, 'What is the proof for declaring him an apostate when he has deliberately done what is false?' It was said, 'The closest is the saying of the Prophet ﷺ , 'Let him come with what is better and let him be absolved of his oath.' For indeed, he commanded to deliberately perform the forbidden action."  

البيهقي:١٩٨٧٢وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ مِنْ أَصْلِ كِتَابِهِ أنبأ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَصْرِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ أنبأ يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ قَالَ
