The Book of Oaths and Vows
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ كَثِيرَ بْنَ فَرْقَدٍ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ نَافِعًا حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَنْ حَلَفَ فَقَالَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَقَدِ اسْتَثْنَى ‏"‏ ‏.‏
"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever swears an oath and says: If Allah wills, then he has made an exception.'"
Narrated by 'Abdullah bin 'Umar said:

Context

Abdullah bin 'Umar narrates that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ stated that when someone swears an oath and includes 'If Allah wills,' they have made an exception. This emphasizes the importance of recognizing Allah's ultimate control over all matters and the humility that comes with acknowledging His will.

Modern Application
