لَا أَرَى أَنْ يَحْلِفَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ فَأَمَّا قَوْلُ الرَّجُلِ لَابَ لِشَانِئِكَ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ قَوْلِ أَهْلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَ لَوْ حَلَفَ الرَّجُلُ بِهَذَا وَ أَشْبَاهِهِ لَتُرِكَ الْحَلْفُ بِاللَّهِ فَأَمَّا قَوْلُ الرَّجُلِ يَا هَيَاهْ وَ يَا هَنَاهْ فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ لِطَلَبِ الِاسْمِ وَ لَا أَرَى بِهِ بَأْساً وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ لَعَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَ قَوْلُهُ لَا هَاهُ فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, form his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> do not see that the man should swear except by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>. So as for the words of the man, ‘No, by your adversary!’, so it is from the worlds of the people of the ignorance, and if the man were to swear by this, and the likes of it he would have neglected the swearing by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>. So as for the words of the man, ‘يَا هَيَاهْ وَ يَا هَنَاهْ’, but rather that is for seeking the name, and I<sup>asws</sup> do not see by it any evil; and as for his words, ‘لَعَمْرُ اللَّهِ’, and his words, ‘لَا هَاهُ’, so rather that is (swearing) by Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic’.
