Bulugh al-Maram — Hadith #52478

On the authority of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever swears a false oath on this pulpit of mine will have his place in Hellfire.” This was narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, and An-Nasa’i, and authenticated by Ibn Hibban.¹ It is authentic. It was narrated by Ahmad (3/344), Abu Dawud (3246), An-Nasa’i in “Al-Kubra” (3/491), and Ibn Hibban (1192) through the chain of transmission of Hashim ibn Hashim, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Nastas, on the authority of Jabir. The wording is as follows: Narrated by al-Nasa'i and Ibn Hibban, and Abu Dawud added: "Even if it is on a green miswak," after the word "sinful," and at the end, with doubt: "Or he deserves Hellfire." I say: This chain of narration is weak, for Ibn Nastas, although al-Nasa'i considered him trustworthy, al-Dhahabi said in "al-Mizan" (2/515): "He is unknown. Hashim ibn Hashim is the only one who narrated from him." However, the hadith has a sound supporting narration from Abu Hurayrah.
