Example of an oxidising agent not containing oxygen

2HCl + 2Na → 2NaCl + H₂
In this, the hydrochloric acid was the oxidising agent. The sodium atoms donated an electron to the hydrogen ions to make them hydrogen atoms, making HCl the oxidising agent.
The confusion likely stems from different definitions of oxidation. In this context, oxidation means the loss of electrons, and oxygen, despite the name, has nothing to do with it.
