3801. It was narrated that Thâbit bin Ad-Daḥḥâk said: “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: ‘Whoever swears by a religion other than Islam, telling a lie, will be as he said.’” (Sahih) In his narration, Qutaibah said: “Intentionally.” Yazîd said: "Telling a lie will be as he said, and whoever kills himself with something. Allāh will punish him with it in the Fire of Hell."
3770 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، ح وَأَنْبَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ الضَّحَّاكِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ حَلَفَ بِمِلَّةٍ سِوَى الْإِسْلَامِ كَاذِبًا فَهُوَ كَمَا قَالَ - قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ، فِي حَدِيثِهِ: مُتَعَمِّدًا، وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ: كَاذِبًا فَهُوَ كَمَا قَالَ -، وَمَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ بِشَيْءٍ عَذَّبَهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ "

The form of such an oath is that someone says: "By Christianity..." or the like. And they also say it is when he says: (By Allāh) if I do so and so work, I may turn a Jew or Christian, etc.' He has, however, already done that work, and he remembers it also. Or he says: 'If I do such and such work, I am a Jew or Christian.' While his intention is to do that work, he is swearing only to deceive. Apparently, he has chosen to turn a Jew or Christian. So to speak, he is actually a Jew or Christian.
