The Shaykh : His statement (peace and blessings be upon him): He specifically mentioned fathers because it was the common practice for them to swear by their fathers. Then, after prohibiting swearing by fathers, he guided them to mention the One by whom one should swear, which is Allah, and he said: This indicates the prohibition of swearing by fathers, and the same applies to swearing by any created being, based on the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Even the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is not permissible to swear by, nor Jibril, nor the Throne; any created being, it is not permissible to swear by. Whoever swears by such a thing has committed shirk. Look at the relevance of the hadith of this chapter.
