Arabic text

2325 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نِسْطَاسٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ حَلَفَ بِيَمِينٍ آثِمَةٍ عِنْدَ مِنْبَرِي هَذَا، فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ، وَلَوْ عَلَى سِوَاكٍ أَخْضَرَ»

Commentary

Taking an oath and demanding an oath is allowed for solving mutual disputes and differences, providing the oath is true, and the sin is only involved if the oath is false. Committing an offence or sin at an honored and holy place, is worse in gravity than doing so at an ordinary place, and the punishment for it will be more severe. The place in the mosque around the pulpit is more respected and regarded holier. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Between my house (the room of 'Aishah ؓ) and my pulpit is a garden from the Gardens of Paradise." [Sahih Al-Bukhârî (1195) and Sahih Muslim (1390)]
