لَا أَرَى لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَحْلِفَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ قَالَ قَوْلُ الرَّجُلِ حِينَ يَقُولُ لَابَ لِشَانِئِكَ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنْ قَوْلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَ لَوْ حَلَفَ النَّاسُ بِهَذَا وَ شِبْهِهِ تُرِكَ أَنْ يُحْلَفَ بِاللَّهِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Abu Nasr, from Abdul Kareem, from Sama’at, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> do not see for the man that he should swear, except by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The words of the man where he is saying ‘No, by your adversary!’, so rather it is from the words of the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance, and if the people were to swear by this, and the likes of it, it would neglect the swearing by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>’.
