Narrated Imran ibn Husayn: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If anyone swears a false oath in confinement, he should make his seat in Hell on account of his (act).
Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: He who swears an oath in which he tells a lie to take the property of a Muslim by unfair means, will meet Allah while He is angry with him. Al-Ashath said: I swear by Allah, he said this about me. There was some land between me and a Jew, but he denied it to me; so I presented him to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم asked me: Have you any evidence? I replied: No. He said to the Jew: Take an oath. I said: Messenger of Allah, now he will take an oath and take my property. So Allah, the Exalted, revealed the verse, As for those who sell the faith they owe to Allah and their own plighted word for a small price, they shall have no portion in the hereafter.
Narrated Al-Ashath ibn Qays: A man of Kindah and a man of Hadramawt brought their dispute to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم about a land in the Yemen. Al-Hadrami said: Messenger of Allah, the father of this (man) usurped my land and it is in his possession. The Prophet asked: Have you any evidence? Al-Hadrami replied: No, but I make him swear (that he should say) that he does not know that it is my land which his father usurped from me. Al-Kindi became ready to take the oath. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If anyone usurps the property by taking an oath, he will meet Allah while his hand is mutilated. Al-Kindi then said: It is his land.
Narrated Alqamah bin Wail bin Hujr al-Hadrami: On the Authority of his father: A man from Hadramawt and a man of Kindah came to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. Al-Hadrami said: Messenger of Allah, this (man) took away forcibly from me the land which belongs to my father. Al-Kindi said: It is my land in my possession, and I cultivate it, he has no right to it. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then said to al-Hadrami: Have you any proof ? He said: No. He then said: So for you is his oath. He said: Messenger of Allah, he is liar, he does not care for which he is taking the oath. He does not refrain himself from anything. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: You will have nothing from him except that. He went to take an oath for him. When he turned his back, the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If he takes an oath on the property to take it away by unfair means, he will meet Allah while He is unmindful of him.
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: One should not take a false oath at this pulpit of mine even on a green tooth-stick; otherwise he will make his abode in Hell, or Hell will be certain for him.
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: If anyone swears on oath is the course which he says: By al-Lat he should say: There is no god but Allah, and that if anyone says to his friend: Come and let me play for money with you, he should give something in charity (sadaqah).
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Do not swear by your fathers, or by your mothers, or by rivals to Allah; and swear by Allah only, and swear by Allah only when you are speaking the truth.
Narrated Ibn Umar: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم found Umar al-Khattab in a caravan while he was swearing by his father. So he said: Allah forbids you to swear by forefathers. If anyone swears, he must swear by Allah or keep silence.
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Ibn Umar through a different chain of narrators to the same effect up to the words by your fathers . This version adds: Umar said: I swear by Allah, I never swore by it personally or reporting it from others.
Saeed ibn Ubaydah said: Ibn Umar heard a man swearing: No, I swear by the Kabah. Ibn Umar said to him: I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say: He who swears by anyone but Allah is polytheist.
