3251. It was narrated that Sa'd bin 'Ubaidah said: "Ibn 'Umar heard a man swearing: 'No, by the Ka'bah.' Ibn 'Umar said to him: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Whoever swears by something other than Allāh, he has committed an act of Shirk.''" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

3251 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ، رَجُلًا يَحْلِفُ: لَا وَالْكَعْبَةِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ حَلَفَ بِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ أَشْرَكَ»
