Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Two men brought their dispute to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم asked the plaintiff to produce evidence, but he had no evidence. So he asked the defendant to swear. He swore by Allah There is no god but He. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Yes, you have done it, but you have been forgiven for the sincerity of the statement: There is no god but Allah. Abu Dawud said: This tradition means that he did not command him to make atonement
