52/28. Chapter:

Whoever sees that promises should be fulfilled

وَفَعَلَهُ الْحَسَنُ، وَذَكَرَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ. وَقَضَى ابْنُ الأَشْوَعِ بِالْوَعْدِ. وَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ. وَقَالَ الْمِسْوَرُ بْنُ مَخْرَمَةَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَذَكَرَ صِهْرًا لَهُ قَالَ: «وَعَدَنِي فَوَفَى لِي». قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَرَأَيْتُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ يَحْتَجُّ بِحَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَشْوَعَ.Al-Hasan supported this judgement. (Allah says:) "And mention in the Book (the Qur'an) Isma'il (Ishmael): Verily! He was true to what he promised." (V.19:54) Ibn Al-Ashwa' judged that promises should be fulfilled, and he mentioned that Samura adopted the same opinion. Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhzama رضي الله عنه: I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying: (about one of his sons-in-law), "He promised me and fulfilled his promise." Narrated Abu 'Abdullah (Al-Bukhari): I saw Ishaq bin Ibrahim depending on Ibn Ashwa's narration in giving verdicts.

Sahih Bukhari : 2681

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سُفْيَانَ، أَنَّ هِرَقْلَ، قَالَ لَهُ سَأَلْتُكَ مَاذَا يَأْمُرُكُمْ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّهُ أَمَرَكُمْ بِالصَّلاَةِ وَالصِّدْقِ وَالْعَفَافِ وَالْوَفَاءِ بِالْعَهْدِ وَأَدَاءِ الأَمَانَةِ‏.‏ قَالَ وَهَذِهِ صِفَةُ نَبِيٍّ‏.‏

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abbas: Abu Sufyan told me that Heraclius said to him, "When I inquired you what he (i.e. Muhammad) ordered you, you replied that he ordered you to establish the prayer, to speak the truth, to be chaste, to keep promises and to pay back trusts." Then Heraclius added, "These are really the qualities of a prophet."
