Allah ya ce, {Waɗanda suke sayar da alkawarin Allah da rantsuwarsu saboda ƙaramin farashi, ba su da wani rabo a Lahira. Allah ba zai yi magana da su ba, ba zai duba zuwa gare su ba a Ranar Kiyama, kuma ba zai tsarkake su ba, kuma suna da azaba mai raɗaɗi.} (3: 77)

Allah says, {as for those who sell the faith they owe to Allah and their own solemn plighted word for a small price, they shall have no portion in the here after! Nor will Allah (Design to) speak to them or look at them on the Day of Judgement, nor will he clean them (of sin): they shall have a grievous chastisement.} (3: 77)

Al-Wahidi ya ruwaito cewa, "Sababun saukar wannan ayar shi ne game da mutum biyu masu jayayya waɗanda suka nemi Annabi ﷺ ya yanke hukunci a tsakaninsu game da wata gona. A lokacin da wanda ake ƙara ya kusa rantsuwa, sai Allah ya saukar da wannan ayar. Nan take ya juya daga rantsuwa, ya kuma amince da haƙƙin mai ƙara a kan gonar."

Al-Wahidi related, "The occasion of revelation of this verse was regarding two disputants who sought the Prophet to decide their case about a landed estate. At the time the defendant had been on the point of taking an oath1, Allah revealed this verse. At once, he turned away from swearing and admitted the claimant's right to the estate.

"Duk wanda aka umarta (ta wajen sarki ko alkali) ya rantse, sannan ya yi rantsuwar karya domin ya kwace dukiyar wani Musulmi, zai fuskanci fushin Allah idan ya haɗu da Shi ranar Alƙiyama." Al-Ash'ath ya ce, "Na rantse da Allah, wannan ayar an saukar da ita ne game da ni. Wata jayayya ta tashi tsakanina da wani Bayahude wanda ya musanta haƙƙina na mallakar wani yanki na ƙasa. Na kai shi wurin Manzon Allah ﷺ, sai ya ce mini:"

"Whosoever is ordered (by the ruler or the judge) to give an oath, and he takes a false oath in order to grab the property of a Muslim, he will incur Allah's Wrath when he meets Him on the Day of Resurrection.” Al-Ash 'ath said, "By Allah, this verse was revealed in my connection. A dispute broke out between me and a Jew who had denied my right to the ownership of a piece of land. I reported him to Allah's apostle who said to me:

"Shin kana da wata shaida (wato mai bayarwa da shaida)?" Sai na ce, "A'a." Sai ya ce wa Bayahudin, "Ka rantse!" A wannan lokaci sai na ce, "Ya Manzon Allah! Shi, abokin husumata, zai rantse, sai kuma ya cinye dukiyata." Saboda wannan sai Allah ya saukar da ayar: "Lalle ne waɗanda suke sayar da alkawarin Allah da rantsuwoyinsu da wani ɗan ƙaramin farashi…" 2

"Have you got an evidence (i.e. witness)? I replied, "No" He said to the Jewish man" swear in!" At this moment, I said, "0 Allah's Apostle! He, my opponent, will take the oath and consequently consume my property". For this Allah revealed, ''as for those who sell the faith…” 2

Abdullahi Ibn Mas'ud ya ruwaito cewa Annabi ﷺ ya ce: "Duk wanda ya rantse da ƙarya domin ya kwace dukiyar wani Musulmi ba bisa haƙƙi ba, zai fuskanci fushin Allah a Ranar Alkiyama." Abdullahi ya ƙara da cewa: "Annabi ﷺ ya karanta wannan aya daga Alƙur'ani mai girma don tabbatar da wannan magana."

`Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud narrated the Prophet as saying, A person who swears falsely to take possession of Muslim's property unjustly, shall face the wrath of Allah on the Day of Judgement". 'Abdullah added, 'the Prophet recited the following verse from the holy Qur'an in support of this statement.

{Waɗanda suke sayar da alkawarin Allah ...........} Annabi ﷺ ya ce: "Duk wanda ya kwace haƙƙin wani Musulmi, ta hanyar rantsuwa (ƙarya), Allah Maɗaukaki zai hukunta shi zuwa wuta, kuma za a hana shi Aljanna." Wani mutum ya tambaya: "Ya Manzon Allah ﷺ! Ko da abu ne ƙarami?" Sai shi Annabi ﷺ ya amsa: "Ko da kuwa reshe ɗaya ne na itace."3

{As for those who sell the faith ..........} The Prophet said, "A person who usurps the right of a Muslim, by swearing (falsely) will be condemned by Allah the Exalted to the hell and will be derived of Paradise. A man asked, "0 Messenger of Allah! Even if it may be a small thing?" he the Prophet -answered, "Even if it be the (smallest) twig of a bush- tree.”3

Abu Zarr ya ruwaito cewa Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce: "Akwai mutane uku da Allah ba zai yi magana da su ba a Ranar Alkiyama, ba zai duba su ba, ba kuma zai tsarkake su ba, kuma akwai azaba mai raɗaɗi a gare su." Sai ya ce: "Sun yi asara, sun kuma tabbata cikin hasara. Su wane ne, ya Manzon Allah?" Sai Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce: "Su ne masu jan tufafinsu har ƙasa, masu tuna alherin da suka yi wa wasu, da mai sayar da kaya da rantsuwar ƙarya."

Abu Dhar narrated the Prophet say, "There are three people whom Allah will not talk to on the Day of Judgement, look at, or exonerate, and there is a painful chastisement for them ". They failed and they lost who are these persons, Allah's apostle? Upon this the Prophet remarked, "They are the draggers of lower garment, those who remind others of their favors, and the seller of goods by false oath.” 1

Annabi ﷺ ya kuma ce: "Manyan zunubai su ne: yin shirki da Allah, rashin biyayya ga iyaye, kisan rai ba bisa ka'ida ba, da rantsuwar karya (rantsuwar da ke kai mutum wuta) - wadda ake kira "Al-Ghamus"."2

The Prophet also said, "The biggest sins are: to join others in worship with Allah, to be undutiful to one's parents, to kill somebody unlawfully, and to take (a false) oath- “AI-Ghamus”2

Daga cikin rantsuwace-rantsuwacen da aka haramta akwai rantsuwa da wani ba Allah ba, kamar: da Manzon Allah ﷺ, da Ka'aba, da mala'iku, da sama, da ruwa, da rai, da gaskiya, da rayukan mutane, da rayuwar sarki, ko da alherinsa, ko da kabarin wani.

Of the forbidden oaths is swearing by other than Allah, such as: the Prophet, the Ka'bah, the angels, heaven, water, life, honesty, souls, the sultan's life, or his favor, or by someone's grave.

Annabi ﷺ ya ce, "Lallai Allah ya hana ku rantsuwa da iyayenku. Duk wanda zai rantse, to ya rantse da Allah, ko kuma ya yi shiru."3

The Prophet said, "Lo! Allah forbids you to swear by your fathers, so whosoever has to take an oath, he should swear by Allah or keep silent.”3

Ya kuma ce, "Kada ku yi rantsuwa da gumaka, kuma kada ku yi rantsuwa da iyayenku."4

He said too, "Do not swear by idols, nor by your fathers.”4

"Duk wanda ya rantse da mutuncinsa, ba ya cikinmu."

"Whosoever swears by his honour is not from amongst us.” 5

Duk wanda ya rantse cewa idan ya aikata irin wannan aiki, ko kuma ya yi kuskure, to zai iya fita daga Musulunci. To idan ya zama maƙaryaci, zai kasance kamar yadda ya faɗa (ya rantse). Idan kuma aka tabbatar cewa ya faɗi gaskiya, to ba zai dawo cikin Musulunci ba tare da tabo ba.

"Whosoever takes an oath that if he does such and such act, or he is wrong, he may go out of Islam, then if he should turn out to be a liar he will be as he said (swore) and if he is proved to have spoken the truth then he will not come back to Islam without a stigma.” 6

Ibn 'Umar ya ji wani mutum yana rantsuwa da Ka'aba. Sai ya ce wa mutumin, "Kada ka yi rantsuwa da wani baya ga Allah, domin na ji maganar Annabi ﷺ wadda ta ƙare da cewa, 'Duk wanda ya yi rantsuwa da wani baya ga Allah, to lallai ya kafirta da Allah kuma ya yi shirka.'"7

Ibn 'Umar heard a man swearing by K'abah. Thereupon he said to that man, "Do not swear by other than Allah for I have received the Prophet's words which concluded, "Whosoever swears by other than Allah has indeed disbelieved in Allah and ascribed partners to Him.”7

"Sun kafirta kuma suka danganta masa abokan tarayya." Wasu masu tafsiri sun mayar da wannan magana zuwa ga laifin zunubi.

By "disbelieved and ascribed partners to Him." some interpreters assimilate it as referring to the misdeed of the sin.

Annabi ﷺ ya ce, "Munafunci yana nufin shirka."8

The Prophet said, "Hypocrisy stands for polytheism.”8

Ya kuma ce: "Duk wanda ya rantse, sannan ya ce (da kuskure): Na rantse da Lat da 'Uzza', to nan take ya tabbatar da cewa: babu abin bauta face Allah."9

He also said, "A person who takes an oath and swears (by error):" By Lat and "Uzzah", should at once affirm:" there is no god save Allah.”9

Daga cikin sababbin sahabbai da aka shiryar da su wasu sun yi amfani da sunayen Al-Lat da Al-Uzzah a matsayin rantsuwa ba tare da niyya ba. Sai Annabi ﷺ ya umarce su da su furta: "Babu abin bautawa sai Allah", a matsayin kaffara ga abin da suka faɗa.

Among the newly guided companions of the Prophet were some who spontaneously happened to use Al-Lat and A1- Uzzah as oaths. To them the Prophet gave a commandment to declare:" There is no god but Allah", as an expiation for what they have said.
