Chapter on Oaths, Vows, and Expiations

وَ رَوَى أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: لاٰ يُؤٰاخِذُكُمُ اَللّٰهُ بِاللَّغْوِ فِي أَيْمٰانِكُمْ قَالَ "هُوَ لاَ وَ اَللَّهِ وَ بَلَى وَ اَللَّهِ ".
Abu Basir narrated from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام regarding the saying of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Glorious: "Allah سبحانه وتعالى does not take you to task for what is unintentional in your oaths" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:225). Imam عليه السلام said: "It refers to sayings like 'No, by Allah سبحانه وتعالى' and 'Yes, by Allah سبحانه وتعالى.'"
