Chapter 7 | The Binding Consequence of Oath and Vows

5- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ جَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَشْيَ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللهِ وَالْهَدْيَ قَالَ وَحَلَفَ بِكُلِّ يَمِينٍ غَلِيظٍ أَلا أُكَلِّمَ أَبِي أَبَداً وَلا أَشْهَدَ لَهُ خَيْراً وَلا يَأْكُلَ مَعِي عَلَى الْخِوَانِ أَبَداً وَلا يَأْوِيَنِي وَإِيَّاهُ سَقْفُ بَيْتٍ أَبَداً قَالَ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ أَبَقِيَ شَيْءٌ قَالَ لا جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ كُلُّ قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ فَلَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ.

5. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hakam from ‘Amr ibn al-Bara’ who has narrated the following: “Once abu ‘Abd Allah , was asked, when I was listening, about the case of a man who has made obligatory upon himself to walk to the House of Allah and the offering animal, he has taken an oath in all severity not to ever speak to his father, testify about anything good for him. Never eat with him on one table or live with him under one roof. He then remained quiet. Abu ‘Abd Allah , asked, ‘Is anything else left?’ He replied, ‘No, I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘All manners of cutting relation with relatives is nothing (not permissible).”’
