Is Swearing Haraam?
An-Nisa’ – 4:148
Arabic
لَّا يُحِبُّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ بِٱلسُّوٓءِ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ إِلَّا مَن ظُلِمَۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ سَمِيعًا عَلِيمًا
If God doesn’t like those who openly swear. If he doesn’t like them then does that mean he hates them?
Would this mean swearing is haraam?

Also here it’s not إنَّ الله لا يحب… but just لا يحب الله . So could it mean that God Siena ‘like’ these people but would that necessitate he hates them?

Or does السوء here mean evil deeds? Like scandals and talking about bad things happening in the world?

I think the specific questions about the Arabic are important

Where swear came from in this ayah?
(4:148) Allah does not like speaking evil publicly unless one has been wronged. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

(148. Allah does not like that the evil should be uttered in public except by him who has been wronged. And Allah is Ever All-Hearer, All-Knower.) (149. Whether you disclose a good deed or conceal it, or pardon an evil, verily, Allah is Ever Pardoning, All-Powerful.)
THE PERMISSION TO UTTER EVIL IN PUBLIC, FOR ONE WHO WAS WRONGED
Ali bin Abi Talhah said that IbnAbbas commented on the Ayah,﴿ لَّا يُحِبُّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ بِٱلسُّوٓءِ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ ﴾
(Allah does not like that the evil should be uttered in public) “Allah does not like that any one should invoke Him against anyone else, unless one was wronged. In this case, Allah allows one to invoke Him against whoever wronged him. Hence Allah’s statement,
﴿ إِلَّا مَن ظَلَمَ ﴾
(except by him who has been wronged.) Yet, it is better for one if he observes patience.” Al-Hasan Al-Basri commented, “One should not invoke Allah (for curses) against whoever wronged him. Rather, he should supplicate,
O Allah! Help me against him and take my right from him.''' In another narration, Al-Hasan said, "Allah has allowed one to invoke Him against whoever wronged him without transgressing the limits.''Abdul-Karim bin Malik Al-Jazari said about this Ayah; “When a man curses you, you could curse him in retaliation. But if he lies about you, you may not lie about him.
