حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: لاَ يَصْلُحُ الْكَذِبُ فِي جِدٍّ وَلاَ هَزْلٍ، وَلاَ أَنْ يَعِدَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَلَدَهُ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ لاَ يُنْجِزُ لَهُ.
Qutaibah told us, he said: Jarir told us, on the authority of Al-Amash, on the authority of Mujahid, on the authority of Abu Muammar, on the authority of Abdullah, who said: It is not appropriate to lie in a grave. Nor in jest, nor for any of you to promise anything to his son and then not fulfill it for him.
