"عَنْ عَلقَمَةَ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ عُمَرَ بنِ الخَطَّابِ فِى أَحْفَلِ مَا يَكُون المَجْلِسُ إِذْ نَهَضَ وَبَيدِهِ الدّرَّةُ فَمَرَّ بأبِى رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ صَائِغ يَضْرِبُ بمطرَقَتهِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يا أبَا رافِعٍ! أقُولُ ثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ، فَقَالَ أبُو رافِعٍ: يَا أميرَ المؤْمِنين! وَلِمَ ثَلاَثَ مِرار؟ قَالَ: وَيْل للصَّائِغ وَوَيل لِلتُّجارِ مِنْ لاَ وَالله، وَبِلاَ والله، والله يَا مَعْشَرَ التُّجَارِ إِنَّ التِّجارَة يَحْضُرُها الأيْمانُ فشُوبُوهَا بالصَّدَقَةِ، ألا إِنَّ كُلَّ يَمِينٍ فَاجِرَةٍ تذْهَبُ بالبَرَكةِ وَتُثْبِتُ الذنْبَ فَاتَقُوا لاَ وَاللهِ، وَبَلا وَالله فَإنَّها يَمِينُ سُخْطَةٍ".

It is narrated from 'Alqamah who said: "While we were with 'Umar ibn al-Khattab in the most crowded of gatherings, he stood up with a whip in his hand and passed by Abu Rafi', the freedman of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who was a goldsmith striking with his hammer. 'Umar said: 'O Abu Rafi'! I will say it three times.' Abu Rafi' said: 'O Commander of the Believers! Why three times?' He said: 'Woe to the goldsmith, and woe to the merchants, because of "No, by Allah" and "Yes, by Allah." O assembly of merchants, trade is attended by oaths, so mix it with charity. Indeed, every false oath takes away blessing and establishes sin, so beware of "No, by Allah" and "Yes, by Allah," for it is an oath of displeasure."
