[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Umar, Jabir, and Imran bin Husain.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is not correct, because Az-Zuhri did not hear this Hadith from Abu Salamah.

[He said:] I heard Muhammad saying: "It has been reported by more than one narrator - among them - Musa bin 'Uqbah, and Ibn Abi 'Atiq, from Az-Zuhri: 'from Sulaiman bin Arqam, from Yahya bin Abi Kathir, from Abu Salamah, from 'Aishah, from the Prophet (saws).'" Muhammad said: "And this is the Hadith."

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Gharib, and it more correct than the previous narration of Abu Safwan from Yunus. Abu Safwan is from Makkah and his name is 'Abdullah bin Sa'eed bin 'Abdul-Malik bin Marwan. Al-Humaidi and more than one of the esteemed people of Hadith reported from him.

There are those among the people of knowledge from the Companions of the Prophet (saws) and others who said: "There is no vowing of disobedience to Allah, and its atonement is the atonement of an oath." This is the view of Ahmad and Ishaq and they used the Hadith of Az-Zuhri from Abu Salamah from 'Aishah as proof.

Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet (saws) and others said that there is no vowing for disobedience, and that there is no atonement for that. This is the view of Malik and Ash-Shafi'i.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. Yahya bin Abu Kathir reported it from Al-Qasim bin Muhammad.

It is the view of some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of Prophet (saws) and others. It is saying of Malik, and Ash-Shafi'i. They said: He should not disobey Allah, and there is no atonement of an oath when his vow was for disobedience.

[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr and 'Imran bin Husain.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

There are narrations on this topic from 'Ali, Jabir, 'Adi bin Hatim, Abu Ad-Darda, Anas, 'Aishah, 'Abdullah bin Amr, Abu Hurairah, Umm Salamah, and Abu Musa

[Abu 'Eisa said:] The Hadith of 'Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah is a Hasan Sahih Hadith.

[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Umm Salamah.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] The Hadith of Abu Hurairah is a Hasan Sahih Hadith. This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet (saws) and others. Atonement before the violation is acceptable. This is the view of Malik bin Anas, Ash-Shafi'i, Ahmad and Ishaq.

Some of the people of knowledge said that there is no atonement until after the violation. Sufyan Ath-Thawri said: "If he atones after the violation it is better to me, and if he atones before the violation it is acceptable."

[He said:] There is something on this topic from Abu Hurairah.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] The Hadith of Ibn 'Umar is a Hasan Hadith. 'Ubaidullah bin 'Umar and others reported it from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar as a Mawquf narration. Similarly, Salim reported it from Ibn 'Umar as a Mawquf narration. We do not know of anyone who narrated it in Marfu' form except from Ayyub As-Sakhtiyani. Ismail bin Ibrahim said: "Sometimes Ayyub narrated it as Marfu' and sometime he did not narrate it as Marfu'."

This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet (saws) and others regarding making an exception when connecting it to an oath, then one will not be guilty of having broken the oath. This is the view of Sufyan Ath-Thawri, Al-Awza'i, Malik bin Anas, 'Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak, Ash-Shafi'i, Ahmad and Ishaq.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] I asked Muhammad bin Isma'il about this Hadith, so he said: "This Hadith is a mistake, 'Abdur-Razzaq made the mistake of abbreviating it from the narration of Ma'mar, from Ibn Tawus, from his father, from Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet (saws) who said: 'Indeed Sulaiman bin Dawud, peace be upon him, said: "Tonight I will sleep with seventy women, each woman giving birth to a boy." So he slept with them, but no one woman among them gave birth except for a woman who gave birth to half a boy.' So the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: "If Allah wills" (Insha Allah) then it would have been as he said.'"
This is how it was reported from 'Abdur-Razzaq, from Ma'mar, from Ibn Tawus, from his father with this Hadith in its entirety and he said: "Seventy women."

This Hadith has been reported through more than one route from Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet (saw), that he said: "Sulaiman bin Dawud said: 'Tonight I shall sleep with one hundred women.'"

[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak, Ibn 'Abbas, Abu Hurairah, Qutailah, and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah. This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] Abu 'Ubaid said: "The meaning of his saying: 'Nor in narrating' is as if he said: 'I do not narrate it from others' or saying: 'I do not mention it from others.'"

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan.

According to some of the people of knowledge, the explanation of this Hadith is that his saying: "He has committed disbelief or Shirk" is to demonstrate its severity. The proof for that is the Hadith of Ibn 'Umar: That the Prophet (saws) heard 'Umar saying: 'By my father! By my father!' So he (saws) said: "Verily Allah prohibits you from swearing by your fathers." As well as the Hadith of Abu Hurairah from the Prophet (saws) that he (saws) said: "Whoever says in his oath: 'By Al-Lat, By Al-'Uzza!' Then let him say: 'La Ilaha IllAllah'."

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This is similar to what has been reported from the Prophet (saw) saying: "Indeed Riya' is Shirk."

Some of the people of knowledge explained this Ayah: So whoever hopes in meeting his Lord , then let him work righteous deeds (18:110) and they said it means: "Do not commit Riya'."

[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Abu Hurairah, 'Uqbah bin 'Amir and Ibn 'Abbas.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] The Hadith of Anas is a Hasan Sahih Gharib Hadith from this route.

[He said:] There is something about this from Ibn 'Umar.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] The Hadith of Abu Hurairah is a Hasan Sahih Hadith. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet (saws) and others, they disliked vows. 'Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak said: "It is disliked to make vows related to obedience and disobedience. So if he vows to do some obedience and fulfills it, then he will get a reward, while it was disliked for him to make a vow."

[He said:] There are narration on this topic from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr, and Ibn 'Abbas.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] The Hadith of 'Umar is a Hasan Sahih Hadith.
Some of the people of knowledge followed this Hadith. They said that when a man accepts Islam and he had (previously) made a vow to do some act of obedience, then he is obliged to fulfill it.

Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet (saws), and others, said that there is no I'tikaf without fasting. Others among the people of knowledge said that it is not required for the person performing I'tikaf to fast, unless he made fasting obligatory upon himself. They used the Hadith of 'Umar as proof, in which he vowed during Jahiliyyah to perform I'tikaf for a night, and the Prophet (saws) ordered him to fulfill it. This is the view of Ahmad and Ishaq.

[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Aishah, 'Amr bin 'Abasah, Ibn 'Abbas, Wathilah bin Al-Ashqa', Abu Umamah, 'Uqbah bin 'Amir, [and Ka'b bin Murrah].

[Abu 'Eisa said:] The Hadith of Abu Hurairah is a Hasan Sahih Gharib Hadith from this route. Ibn Al-Had's (a narrator in the chain of this Hadith) name is Yazid bin 'Abdullah bin Usamah bin Al-Had, from Al-Madinah, and he is trustworthy. Malik bin Anas and more than one of the people of knowledge reported from him.

[He said:] There is something on this topic from Ibn 'Umar.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

This Hadith has been reported by more than one from Husain bin 'Abdur-Rahman by others, and some of them mentioned in it: "Slapped her on her face."

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

The people of knowledge differed about this: When a man swears by a religion other than Islam, saying he is a Jew or Christian if he were to do this or that. Then he does that thing. Some of them said that he has committed an atrocity and there is no atonement due from him. This is the view of the people of Al-Madinah, and it is the saying of Malik bin Anas, and Abu 'Ubaid followed this view.

Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet (saws), the Tabi'un, as wel as others, said that he has to atone for that. This is the view od Sufyan, Ahmad and Ishaq.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih Gharib from this route.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] In this Hadith is the proof that freeing males is more virtuous for a man than freeing females, due to the saying of the Messenger of Allah (saws): "Any Muslim man frees a Muslim man, then it is his salvation from the Fire - each of his limbs suffices for a limb of himself." And the Hadith is correct in its routes of transmission.
