Abu Umamah al-Ansari reported from ‘Abd Allah ibn Unays al-Juhani that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘Among the gravest major sins are associating partners with Allah, mistreating one’s parents, and a knowingly false oath. Whoever insists on an oath binding another and includes in it even a lie as small as a mosquito’s wing will have a mark placed in his heart until the Day of Resurrection.’ Abu ‘Isa identified Abu Umamah al-Ansari as Ibn Tha‘labah, though his personal name was unknown; he had narrated hadiths from the Prophet. Abu ‘Isa graded this hadith hasan gharib.

Yamin ghamus is a grave, knowingly false oath; yamin sabr refers to an oath imposed in a dispute. The Arabic compares even a tiny falsehood in such an oath to a mosquito’s wing.
