Doubting whether one had taken an oath verbally

Q: I have taken an oath. I cannot recall whether I uttered (said it verbally). I cannot even recall whether I only moved my lips (with a humming sound / with no sound or I have made normal sound). In order to take an oath is it mandatory for the person to hear himself? Please advise if my is oath valid. I am really worried. Please advise.

A: If you are not sure whether you had taken the oath verbally, then the oath is not valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
