Sahih Muslim 1646b (Book 27, Hadith 2) #11366
The Forbidden Oath

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of not taking oaths by anyone other than Allah, and the consequences of speaking in such terms.

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Zuhri except that in the hadith narrated on the authority of Uqail the words are: " I did not take oath by (anyone else except Allah) since I heard Allah's Messenger forbidding it. nor did I speak in such terms, and the narrator did not say," on my own behalf or on behalf of someone else".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي، حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلُ بْنُ، خَالِدٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ ‏.‏ مِثْلَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّ فِي حَدِيثِ عُقَيْلٍ مَا حَلَفْتُ بِهَا مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَنْهَى عَنْهَا وَلاَ تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهَا ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ ذَاكِرًا وَلاَ آثِرًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of not taking oaths by anyone other than Allah. It has been transmitted on the authority of Zuhri and Uqail, who both heard Prophet Muhammad forbidding it. Taking an oath by someone else is considered a major sin in Islam, as it implies that one believes that person to be more powerful or more worthy than God. Furthermore, speaking in such terms can have serious consequences for those who do so. It is important to remember that only God should be given this level of respect and reverence, as He alone has ultimate power over all things.

It is also important to note that even if one does not take an oath directly but speaks in such terms without actually swearing an oath, they are still committing a sin according to this hadith. Therefore it is essential for Muslims to be mindful of their words when discussing matters related to faith or religion so as not to inadvertently commit any sins or transgressions against God's will.
