The ruling on breaking an oath regarding wearing by sitting on a mat

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the language, carpets and rugs are called clothing, as in the hadith
Anas said: "So I got up and brought a reed mat of ours that had turned black from long use,أنس فقمت إلى حصير لنا قد اسود من طول ما لبس،
Sunan an-Nasa'i 801Sahih (Darussalam)
So, does he break his oath if he sits on it?

Answer:
No, this usage is neither common nor well-known. Sitting is not called wearing in the common language of the Arabs. This is a specific usage; it is rare for "wearing" to mean "using."
