Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the correct explanation of what is mentioned in the hadithSunan Abi Dawud 3252
Answer:
The answer to this is given in two ways. The first answer is that it was before the prohibition of swearing by other than Allah, so it is abrogated. The second answer is that an oath was not intended by it; it is a phrase that passes on the tongue, and an oath is not intended by it, so it is among the idle words of an oath,[Al-Baqarah 2:225]. Yes.
