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.

Takhrij:
«أخرجه أبوداود، الأيمان والنذور، باب ما جاء في تعظيم اليمين عند منبر النبي صلي الله عليه وسلم، حديث:3246، والنسائي في الكبرٰي:3 /491، حديث:6018، وأحمد:2 /329، وابن حبان(الإحسان):6 /281، حديث:4353.»©Explanation:
In this hadith, there is a warning that the higher the rank and virtue of a place, the greater will be the punishment for committing a sin there.
Similarly, those times whose virtue has been mentioned—such as after ‘Asr and on the day of Jumu‘ah and the night of Jumu‘ah—if a sin is committed during them, its punishment will also be relatively greater and more severe.
