1724. It was narrated that Muhammad bin 'Abbâd bin Ja'far said: "While I was circumambulating the House, I asked Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh: 'Did the Prophet ﷺ forbid fasting on a Friday?' He said: 'Yes, by the Lord of this House.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

1724 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ شَيْبَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَأَنَا أَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ: «أَنَهَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صِيَامِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ؟» قَالَ: «نَعَمْ، وَرَبِّ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ»

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.
