كُلُّ يَمِينٍ حَلَفَ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ لَا يَفْعَلَهَا مِمَّا لَهُ فِيهِ مَنْفَعَةٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ فَلَا كَفَّارَةَ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنَّمَا الْكَفَّارَةُ فِي أَنْ يَحْلِفَ الرَّجُلُ وَ اللَّهِ لَا أَزْنِي وَ اللَّهِ لَا أَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ وَ اللَّهِ لَا أَسْرِقُ وَ اللَّهِ لَا أَخُونُ وَ أَشْبَاهِ هَذَا وَ لَا أَعْصِي ثُمَّ فَعَلَ فَعَلَيْهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ فِيهِ.

8. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa all from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Tha’labah from Zurarah who has narrated the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘Every act for which one takes an oath not to do it and the act is beneficial in this and in the hereafter, there is no expiation for it. Kaffarah (expiation) becomes obligatory when one takes an oath and says, ‘By Allah I will not commit fornication, by Allah I will not drink wine, by Allah I will not steal, by Allah I will not act treacherously and so on and I will not disobey, but he does, then Kaffarah (expiation) becomes obligatory.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
