Commentary
a. Taking an oath by the Name of Allâh's creatures is prohibited. But there is no harm if the mention of Allâh's Name is attributed to that thing, for example: instead of swearing by the Ka'bah, one should swear by the Lord of Ka'bah.
b. Taking an oath for emphasising something is allowed, but frequently taking an oath without a need is not a good habit, and taking a false oath is a major sin.
