Hadith.4288 - Hammad narrated from al-Halabi, from Abu Abdillah (as), who said
"I believe that one should only swear by Allah (swt).
As for a man's saying, 'No, by your enemy,' this is from the sayings of Jahiliyyah (the pre-Islamic era of ignorance). If people were to swear by this or similar expressions, swearing by Allah (swt) would be abandoned.
As for a man's saying, 'Ya Hanah, Ya Hanah' (O so-and-so), it is merely calling a name, and I see no harm in it.
And as for saying, 'By the life of Allah (swt)' (La 'amr Allah (swt)) and 'By the oath of Allah (swt)' (Aym Allah (swt)), these are indeed swearing by Allah (swt)."
4288 - وَ رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"أَرَى أَنْ لاَ يُحْلَفَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُ اَلرَّجُلِ لاَ بَلِ شَانِئِكَ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ قَوْلِ اَلْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَ لَوْ حَلَفَ اَلنَّاسُ بِهَذَا أَوْ شِبْهِهِ تُرِكَ أَنْ يُحْلَفَ بِاللَّهِ وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُ اَلرَّجُلِ يَا هَنَاهْ يَا هَنَاهْ فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ طَلَبُ اَلاِسْمِ وَ لاَ أَرَى بِهِ بَأْساً وَ أَمَّا لَعَمْرُ اَللَّهِ وَ اَيْمُ اَللَّهِ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ بِاللَّهِ ".
