1534. Ibn ‘Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came across ‘Umar while he was on his mount, and he was swearing by his father. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Verily Allāh prohibits you from swearing by your fathers. So let the one who swears, swear by Allāh, or be silent.” (Sahih) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih.
١٥٣٤ - حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَدْرَكَ عُمَرَ» وَهُوَ فِي رَكْبٍ، وَهُوَ يَحْلِفُ بِأَبِيهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّ اللهَ يَنْهَاكُمْ أَنْ تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ، لِيَحْلِفْ حَالِفٌ بِاللهِ أَوْ لِيَسْكُتْ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

This narration strictly prohibits taking an oath by other than Allāh. In the end of this narration the Prophet ﷺ generalized the command by saying either take the oath by Allāh or keep quiet. There is no other oath except the oath by Allāh.
