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 : 2684

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ شُجَاعٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ الأَفْطَسِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ سَأَلَنِي يَهُودِيٌّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْحِيرَةِ أَىَّ الأَجَلَيْنِ قَضَى مُوسَى قُلْتُ لاَ أَدْرِي حَتَّى أَقْدَمَ عَلَى حَبْرِ الْعَرَبِ فَأَسْأَلَهُ‏.‏ فَقَدِمْتُ، فَسَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ قَضَى أَكْثَرَهُمَا وَأَطْيَبَهُمَا، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا قَالَ فَعَلَ‏.‏

Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: A Jew from Hira asked me which one of the two periods Musa (i.e. Prophet Moses) completed. I said, "I don't know, (but wait) till I see the most learned 'Arab and inquire him about it." So, I went to Ibn `Abbas and asked him. He replied, "Moses completed the longer and better period." Ibn `Abbas added, "No doubt, an apostle of Allah always does what he says."
