To continue on this issue, we must stop and see what are the lessons learnt in such a situation.
From this situation, we learnt:
1. As Muslims we must not invent or add rule.
2. We must observe only Allah's rules in terms of what is lawful and unlawful.
3. Through this situation Allah Legislated the expiation of one who takes an oath and does not fulfill it.
4. We must only please Allah not human beings.
Each situation in the life of the Messenger is desgined for us to learn how to handle it. In other words, his life could be perceived as a practical application for any given situation one could possible go thru.
wa Allah u a`lam
