It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever wishes to swear an oath, should swear only by Allah Almighty.

It is narrated from Sa'd bin Ubaidah, he says: I was in a gathering with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), when he heard a man sitting in another gathering say: "No, by my father's oath," so he threw a pebble at him and said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to swear in the same way, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is shirk (associating partners with Allah).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saying, "By my father," the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty forbids you from swearing by your forefathers. When anyone swears an oath, let him swear by Allah Almighty, or remain silent." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "After that, I never intentionally swore such an oath, nor even while quoting someone else."

A narration of the same kind is reported from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), except that in it, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah, since I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbidding it, I have neither taken such an oath nor spoken such words, neither intentionally nor while quoting someone else."
