Best of you

40. "The most beloved of people according to Allah is he who brings most benefit, and the most beloved of deeds according to Allah the Mighty, the Magnificent, is that you bring happiness to a fellow Muslim, or relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt or stave away hunger from him. It is more beloved to me that I walk with my brother Muslim in his time of need than I stay secluded in the mosque for a month. Whoever holds back his anger, Allah will cover his faults and whoever suppresses his fury while being able to execute it, Allah will fill his heart with satisfaction on the Day of Standing. Whoever walks with his brother Muslim in need until he establishes that for him, Allah will establish his feet firmly on the day when all feet shall slip. Indeed, bad character ruins deeds just as vinegar ruins honey." [Tabarâni, Hasan]

To Take An Oath By Other Than Allaah

Question:

Is this saying a Hadeeth or a narration [from the salaf]: "To take an oath by Allaah upon a lie/falsehood is more beloved to me than taking an oath by other than Him upon truthfulness", and we also hope that you can explain its meaning?
Answer:

This is not a Hadeeth but rather it is from the sayings of Ibn Mas'ood - May Allaah be pleased with him - who said:
"To take an oath by Allaah upon a lie/falsehood is more beloved to me than taking an oath by other than Him upon truthfulness",

Since taking an oath by Allaah is Tawheed (monotheism), eventhough it is false it is still [upon] Tawheed; however it contains the virtue of Tawheed combined with the sin/evil of lying. As for a truthful oath by other than Allaah then it contains the virtue of truth but with the sin/evil of Shirk (polytheism) and Shirk is greater/more worse than the lie and this is from the Fiqh(insight & understanding) of Ibn Mas'ood.
