In principle, this is indicative of cheating and arrogance, becauseAllah says: "And he [Shaytaan (Satan)] swore by Allah to them both,(saying): 'Verily, I am one of the sincere wellwishers for youboth.' So he misled them with deception." [Al-A'raaf 7:21-22] A sincere oath is indicative of prevailing and saying good words,because Allah says: "And verily, that is indeed a great oath, if you but know."[Al-Waaqi'ah 56:76] A false oath is indicative of failure, because Allah says: "And (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) obey you not everyone HallaafMaheen (the one who swears much and is a liar or is worthless)."[Al-Qalam 68:10] [This is also] according to the Hadeeth: "A false oath leaves the land devoid (of blessing)."
