Punishment of taking Allah’s oath falsely

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ یَحْیَی الْخَزَّازِ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ وَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِیرَهِ عَنْ طَلْحَهَ بْنِ زَیْدٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ الْیَمِینَ الْفَاجِرَهَ لَتَنْقُلُ الرَّحِمَ قُلْتُ مَا مَعْنَی تَنْقُلُ الرَّحِمَ قَالَ تَعْقِرُ وَ أَمَّا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی فَإِنَّهُ رَوَی یُنْقَلُ فِی الرَّحِمِ.
7. My father رحمه الله said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from his father from Muhammad b. Yahya al-Khazaz and Muhammad b. Sinan and Abdillah b. al-Mughira from Talha b. Zayd from Abi Abdillah عليه السلام who said: “False oaths are the reason behind ‘transfer of mercy’.” Upon being asked the meaning, Imam عليه السلام replied, “Transfer of mercy means spread of diseases.” Muhammad bin Yahya has narrated it as being heavy instead of being transferred.”
