Is it permissible to swear by the Prophet?

Question:
In his second question, he asks: Or is it permissible to swear by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
It is not permissible to swear by other than Allah, neither by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) nor by any other of His creation. This is a unique attribute of Allah; He is the One who swears by whatever He wills, as He swore by the Mount, the sky with its constellations, the night when it covers, and others.
As for the created being, he has no right to swear except by Allah alone, because swearing is an act of exaltation, which is not fitting for anyone but Allah, and He is the One who knows the secret of the servant, his truthfulness, and his lying, and He is the One who rewards for truthfulness and lying. For this reason, it is authentically reported from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him) that he said: It is agreed upon as authentic, and in another wording he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: .
In Musnad Ahmad, with a sound chain of narration, from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he said: Its chain of narration is sound, and this is general, encompassing the prophets and other than the prophets.
In the Sunan—Sunan Abu Dawud and Sunan al-Tirmidhi—with a sound chain of narration, from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he said: There is doubt from the narrator whether he said: "disbelief," or he said: "shirk." This indicates the prohibition of swearing by other than Allah with a severe prohibition, and that it is among the major prohibitions of disbelief. According to the scholars, it is minor disbelief and minor shirk, unless the exaltation of the created being in his heart is like the exaltation of Allah, or he believes that it is worthy to be worshipped alongside Allah, in which case it becomes major shirk. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
