حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نِسْطَاسٍ، مِنْ آلِ كَثِيرِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَحْلِفُ أَحَدٌ عِنْدَ مِنْبَرِي هَذَا عَلَى يَمِينٍ آثِمَةٍ وَلَوْ عَلَى سِوَاكٍ أَخْضَرَ إِلاَّ تَبَوَّأَ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ». أَوْ «وَجَبَتْ لَهُ النَّارُ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: One should not take a false oath at this pulpit of mine even on a green tooth-stick; otherwise he will make his abode in Hell, or Hell will be certain for him.

জাবির ইবনু ‘আব্দুল্লাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ যে ব্যক্তি আমার মিম্বারের কাছে দাঁড়িয়ে মিথ্যা কসম খায়, তা একটি তাজা মিসওয়াকের জন্য হলেও- সে জাহান্নামে নিজের বাসস্থান ঠিক করে নিলো অথবা তার জন্য আগুন ওয়াজিব হয়ে গেলো।

جابر بن عبداللہ رضی اللہ عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: جو شخص میرے منبر کے پاس جھوٹی قسم کھائے گا اگرچہ ایک تازی مسواک کے لیے کھائے تو سمجھ لو اس نے اپنا ٹھکانہ جہنم میں بنا لیا یا یہ کہا: جہنم اس پر واجب ہو گئی ۱؎ ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Utsman bin Abu Syaibah?], telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Numair], telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hasyim bin Hasyim], telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Abdullah bin Nithas] dari keluarga Katsir bin Ash Shalt bahwa ia mendengar [Jabir bin Abdullah] berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Tidaklah seseorang bersumpah di samping mimbarku ini dengan sumpah palsu walaupun untuk mendapatkan satu siwak, melainkan ia telah mempersiapkan tempatnya di neraka atau wajib baginya neraka

Câbir b. Abdillah (r.a)'dan, Rasûlullah (s.a.v.)'in şöyle buyurduğu rivayet edilmiştir: "Benim şu minberimin yanında, yeşil bir misvak üzerine bile olsa, bir şey için yalan yere yemin eden hiç kimse yok ki cehennemdeki yerine hazırlanmış olmasın -veya kendisine cehennem vacip olmasın

What it means

In this Hadīth, Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified how grave a sin it is to swear a false oath at the Prophet's pulpit in his mosque, even concerning a trivial matter. Indeed, in this place, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) is to be glorified, and what he said on the pulpit is to be remembered.

So, going against his teachings by taking a false oath makes one deserving of this threat. A false oath entails the wrath of Allah, but in such an honorable place (as the Prophet's pulpit inside his mosque) it is an uglier sin.
