Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْأَرَدَسْتَانِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو نَصْرٍ الْعِرَاقِيُّ ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْهُذَيْلِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ فَسَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَحْلِفُ بِسُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فَقَالَ أَتُرَاهُ مُكَفَّرًا عَلَيْهِ بِكُلِّ آيَةٍ يَمِينٌ فَقُولُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ مَعَ الْحَدِيثِ الْمُرْسَلِ فِيهِ دَلِيلٌ عَلَى أَنَّ الْحَلِفَ بِالْقُرْآنِ يَكُونُ يَمِينًا فِي الْجُمْلَةِ ثُمَّ التَّغْلِيظُ فِي الْكَفَّارَةِ مَتْرُوكٌ بِالْإِجْمَاعِ
English Translation
Abdullah ibn Hanzalah said: I was with Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) when he heard a man swearing by Surah al-Baqarah. He said: Do you think he will be expiated? For every verse there is an oath upon him. The statement of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, along with the mursal hadith, is evidence that swearing by the Quran constitutes an oath in general. However, the severity of the expiation mentioned is abandoned by scholarly consensus.
