Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) taking an oath that he will not have relations with Maria Qibtia (radhiyallahu anha)

Q: There are some ahaadeeth like the one quoted by Maulana Maududi which states that the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) had intercourse with Maria Qibtia (radhiyallahu anha) and he then swore never to have intercourse with her after facing pressure from Hazrat Ayesha and Hamza (radhiyallahu anhuma)... Is it true?

A: Yes, it does appear in some narrations that Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) took an oath that he will not have relations with her. However, Allah Ta'ala commanded him to break the oath and make her halaal for himself.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
