Is saying "by your life" considered an oath?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : By my life, is the intention to swear by it?

The Shaykh : Yes, this was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he swore by it, but it is not the type of oath that we were forbidden from, because an oath has specific, known forms with known instruments. Yes.
