حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَنْبَأَنَا هِشَامٌ قَالَ كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي الْحَرَامِ يَمِينٌ يُكَفِّرُهَا قَالَ هِشَامٌ وَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ يَحْيَى يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي الْحَرَامِ يَمِينٌ يُكَفِّرُهَا فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ

Hisham said: Yahya wrote to me, narrating from Ya'la bin Hakeem, from Sa'eed bin Jubair, that Ibn 'Abbas used to say concerning declaring one's wife to be haram: It is an oath for which expiation must be offered.
