Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, what is the ruling if so-and-so says: "By Allah and the dirt upon you"?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : If he says: "By Allah and the dirt upon you".
The Shaykh : By Allah, here. By Allah.
The questioner : If he brings Allah into the meaning.
The Shaykh : By Allah and the dirt.
The questioner : Upon you.
The Shaykh :"By Allah and the dirt upon you", and what does this phrase mean? I say: What is the meaning of this phrase? I did not understand its meaning.
The questioner : Some people say this to some of their friends.
The Shaykh : What do they mean?
The questioner : If he says, "What is your name?" he says: "By Allah and the dirt upon you".
The Shaykh : What is your name?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If he says, "What is your name?" he says: "By Allah and the dirt upon you".
The questioner : He brings Allah into the meaning when he says: By Allah and the dirt upon you.
The Shaykh : Perhaps this is an oath.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : So, "By Allah" is an oath, just as one says: "By Allah and the blessing," "By Allah and the good." Yes, this is an oath that does not diminish Allah (Mighty and Majestic), but it diminishes his Muslim brother. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 2564a Yes.
The questioner : تحب موتي فلو كان ذلك لظللت آخر عمرك آخر يومك معرسا ببعض أزواجك فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ؟ بل أنا وارأساه فقد هممت إلى أبي بكر وأعهد إليه أن يقول القائلون ويتمنى المتمنون ويدفع الله ويأبى المؤمنون . Do you love my death? If that were the case, you would have spent the last of your life, your final day, married to some of your wives. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, I am the one who should lament. I had intended to make Abu Bakr my successor and entrust to him that the speakers would speak, the wishers would wish, and Allah would repel the disbelievers and the believers would refuse.

It is a serious evil for a Muslim that he should look down upon his brother Muslim
