Sunan an-Nasai 3774 — Reject False Objects of Oaths

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3774

This hadith gives a short and direct prohibition: do not swear by your forefathers or by false gods. Its core topic is swearing only by Allah and rejecting other objects of an oath. The mention of forefathers addresses family-based expressions, while the mention of false gods addresses words tied to false worship. Both are excluded. For someone searching for the hadith about swearing by false gods, this report gives the exact prophetic instruction without extra detail. The wording helps a believer check familiar phrases that may be repeated without thought. An old custom, a family expression, or a phrase linked to past worship should not be kept in an oath. The hadith brings the oath back to clear belief in Allah and removes language that gives religious weight to created beings or false objects of worship.
