Hi everyone,
This is from a North African text. Does it mean that his mother swore by God?
It's after a son has been fighting with his father and left the house.
والغاب أنّه تخاصم مع أبيه وسيبيت بقية أيامه خارج البيت، حتى تأتي أمه تستحلفه بالله أن يعود إلى البيت وتعطيه قطعة من ذهبها ليبيعها.
Or more that she is pleading with God?
Thanks!

Asks him for the sake of Allah
First of all, I prefer using Allah instead of God.
secondly, the phrase means that she asks him for the sake of Allah to get back home. It's done by swearing by Allah so we say that she استحلفته.
"By Allah, son, go back home."
