Hadith 43

Sahih Bukhari

Book 52: Witnesses

Chapter 28

Whoever sees that promises should be fulfilled

باب مَنْ أَمَرَ بِإِنْجَازِ الْوَعْدِ

Al-Hasan supported this judgement. (Allah says:) "And mention in the Book (the Qur'an) Isma'il (Ishmael): Verily! He was true to what he promised." (V.19:54) Ibn Al-Ashwa' judged that promises should be fulfilled, and he mentioned that Samura adopted the same opinion. Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhzama رضي الله عنه: I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying: (about one of his sons-in-law), "He promised me and fulfilled his promise." Narrated Abu 'Abdullah (Al-Bukhari): I saw Ishaq bin Ibrahim depending on Ibn Ashwa's narration in giving verdicts.
وَفَعَلَهُ الْحَسَنُ، وَذَكَرَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ. وَقَضَى ابْنُ الأَشْوَعِ بِالْوَعْدِ. وَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ. وَقَالَ الْمِسْوَرُ بْنُ مَخْرَمَةَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَذَكَرَ صِهْرًا لَهُ قَالَ: «وَعَدَنِي فَوَفَى لِي». قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَرَأَيْتُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ يَحْتَجُّ بِحَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَشْوَعَ.
Sahih al-Bukhari 2682
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سُهَيْلٍ، نَافِعِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَبِي عَامِرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ ‏‏.‏
"‏ آيَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلاَثٌ إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ، وَإِذَا اؤْتُمِنَ خَانَ، وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخَلَفَ ‏"
Abu Huraira:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The signs of a hypocrite are three: (1) whenever he speaks, he tells a lie, (2) whenever he is entrusted, he proves to be dishonest, (3) whenever he promises, he breaks his promise.
