I heard from someone that ALLAH(SWT) created us and then took some oath and sent us on earth. I don't know how authentic it is as I do not have any reference.
Can someone shed some light on this?

1You'd better support your question by using Quranic verses or authenticated hadiths.– Mohammad HosseinCommented May 18, 2014 at 14:21

4It's asking for support/authentication for the claim. That burden is on the answerer.– Bleeding FingersCommented May 18, 2014 at 16:59

Yes. It is authenticated. Allah (SWT) did take an oath from us, when he created our souls.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said in Qur'an:
وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِن بَنِي آدَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ ۛ شَهِدْنَا ۛ أَن تَقُولُوا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَـٰذَا غَافِلِينَ
"And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you should say on the day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware." " [Surah A'raf, 7:172]

It called alast oath (عهد اَلَست).
In alame zar (عالم ذَر) which is presented of donya, God created human’s spirit which had perception and Sense. Then Allah got Confessions from human about his creator, and got oaths to worship Allah, obey his prophets and not worshiping Satan. Versus Allah oaths to help humans if they be loyal to their oaths.
This verses mention to this oath:
"And remember the favor of Allah upon you and His covenant with which He bound you when you said, "We hear and we obey"; and fear Allah . Indeed, Allah is Knowing of that within the breasts."(Surat Al-Mā'idah,verse7)
"And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you should say on the day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware."(Surat Al-'A`rāf,verse172)
"And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible."(Surat Ghāfir,verse60)
"Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan - [for] indeed, he is to you a clear enemy -And that you worship [only] Me? This is a straight path."(Surat Yā-Sīn,verse60-61)
And Imam Ali (a.s.) said: “Allah sent prophets to remind human their oaths to Allah"
اللهم صل علی محمد و آل محمد

Salam brother, thanks for your answer, and the oath is now in the Hajar-al-Aswad at the wall of Ka`ba, people are encouraged to touch the oath during every single turn around the House, and no Muslims is allowed to get close to it ...– owariCommented May 23, 2014 at 7:41
