Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Sahl from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who is under oath and his creditor makes him to take an oath with all seriousness not to leave the town without his knowledge. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must not leave the town without his knowledge.’ I then said that if he informs, he would not allow him to go out. He (the Imam) said, ‘If informing him is harmful to him and his family he can go out and he does not owe anything.’”

The woman dies and her people come to him and ask him to take an oath that she has not left anything with him. Must he take an oath in such case? He (the Imam) said, Tf he trusts her he can take an oath but if she is accused, he must not take an oath and instead leave the matter as is; only one-third belongs to her, after all.”’
