Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues: The Rawdah (Riyad al-Jannah) in the Prophet’s Mosque (Masjid Nabawi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and the Prophet’s pulpit (minbar), which will be at the Pond (Hawd) on the Day of Resurrection— To lie or to swear a false oath without regard for such great and blessed places is a sign of extreme wretchedness. The same ruling applies to ordinary mosques as well. This further increases the seriousness of taking an oath therein.

Narrated Jabir (RA): The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "If anyone swears a false oath on this Minbar of mine, he will have prepared his seat in the Hell-Fire." [Reported by Ahmad, Abu Dawud and an-Nasa'i. Ibn Hibban graded it Sahih (authentic)].
