Is saying the word (wa al-na'm) considered an oath by other than Allah the Exalted?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : It is known that swearing by other than Allah is shirk (associating partners with Allah), just as if a person were to say "by the Prophet" or "by honor." My question is: In recent times, many people have started saying "wa na'm" and "al-na'm." Does this fall under what was mentioned previously?

Answer : No, it does not fall under what was mentioned previously. "Al-na'm" is a form of praise.

The presenter : It is the meaning of the phrase "wa na'm al-rajul" (and what a good man he is).
