Is the saying "حاشا" (God forbid/by no means) considered an oath?

The phrase "حاش لله" (Hasha Lillah) or "حاشا" (Hasha) means to exalt Allah above something (to declare Him far removed from it), and it is not a form of oath. An oath is made using one of the names of Allah the Almighty or one of His intrinsic or active attributes. This phrase is none of those.
