( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو حَامِدِ بْنُ بِلَالٍ الْبَزَّازُ، ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ الْمَكِّيُّ، ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ:
أَدْرَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عُمَرَ، وَهُوَ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: وَأَبِي وَأَبِي. فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ يَنْهَاكُمْ أَنْ تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ، فَمَنْ كَانَ حَالِفًا، فَلْيَحْلِفْ بِاللهِ أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ caught up with ʿUmar during one of his journeys, while he was saying: "By my father, by my father." So he said: "Indeed Allah forbids you to swear by your fathers. Whoever is going to swear, let him swear by Allah or else remain silent."
