A statement of “I swear to you” without mentioning the name of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person says to another, “I swear to you,” even though he did not mention the name of Allah or one of His attributes, is it true to say that he swore an oath?

Answer:
No. He said “I swear” when he did not actually swear; this is considered lying. Yes.
