أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا تَحْلِفُوا بِآبَائِكُمْ ، وَلَا بِالطَّوَاغِيتِ " .
´It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman bin Samurah that the Prophet said:` "Do not swear by your forefathers or by false gods (At-Tawaghit)."

Benefits and Issues:
(1)
The singular of (ṭawāghī) is (ṭāghiyah), meaning a rebel. An idol is called ṭāghiyah because it becomes a cause for the polytheism and rebellion of the servants.
(2)
An oath by an idol is, in reality, taken due to the importance and reverence of the person whose image the idol has been made upon; thus, this is essentially also an oath by elders and saints. And taking an oath by other than Allah is forbidden (haram).
