Making An Exception (Saying: In-Sha'-Allah) After Swearing One's Oath

Narrated Ikrimah ibn AbuJahl:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraysh; I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraysh; I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraysh. He then said: "If Allah wills." Abu Dawud said: A number of persons have narrated this tradition from Sharik, from Simak, from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbas who reported from the Prophet (ﷺ): "But he did not fight against them."

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا، وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا، وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ ‏:‏ وَقَدْ أَسْنَدَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ شَرِيكٍ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَسْنَدَهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَالَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ شَرِيكٍ ‏:‏ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَغْزُهُمْ ‏.‏

Narrated 'Ikrimah:

The Prophet (ﷺ) as saying: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish. The then said: If Allah wills. He again said: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish if Allah wills. He again said: I swear by Allah, I shall fight against the Quraish. He then kept silence. Then he said: If Allah wills. Abu Dawud said: Al-Walid b. Muslim said on the authority of Sharik: He then said: But he did not fight against them.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ بِشْرٍ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ وَاللَّهِ لأَغْزُوَنَّ قُرَيْشًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ ‏:‏ زَادَ فِيهِ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ شَرِيكٍ قَالَ ‏:‏ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَغْزُهُمْ ‏.‏
