Hadith record

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from Hammad from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has narrated the following: “This is about the meaning of the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious. . . I swear by the night when it becomes dark. . .’ [92:2] and ‘. . . I swear by the star when it descends down’ [52:2] and so on. Abu Ja’far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, swears by anything of His creatures as He wants but His creatures can only swear and take oath by Allah.’”
