The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He who swears an oath in which he tells a lie to take the property of a Muslim by unfair means, will meet Allah while He is angry with him. Al-Ash'ath said: I swear by Allah, he said this about me. There was some land between me and a Jew, but he denied it to me; so I presented him to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ asked me: Have you any evidence? I replied: No. He said to the Jew: Take an oath. I said: Messenger of Allah, now he will take an oath and take my property. So Allah, the Exalted, revealed the verse, "As for those who sell the faith they owe to Allah and their own plighted word for a small price, they shall have no portion in the hereafter." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3243)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ هُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ فَقَالَ الْأَشْعَثُ فِيَّ وَاللهِ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ أَرْضٌ فَجَحَدَنِي فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ؟ قُلْتُ لَا فَقَالَ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ احْلِفْ فَقُلْتُ يَارَسُولَ اللهِ إِذَنْ يَحْلِفُ فَيَذْهَبُ بِمَالِي فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران 77] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ  

[Machine] There was a dispute between a man from the Qays tribe and another person, so they went to the Prophet ﷺ for arbitration. The Hadrami asked for evidence, but he did not have any. So, the Prophet ﷺ ruled in favor of the man from the Qays tribe by taking an oath. The Hadrami said, "O Messenger of Allah, if it is possible for you to take an oath from him, I am willing to accept it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever takes a false oath will meet Allah while He is angry with him." Raja' bin Haywa then recited the verse of the Quran, "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price..." The man from the Qays tribe asked, "What will I gain, O Messenger of Allah, if I leave it?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Paradise." He said, "Then, I bear witness that I leave it."  

كَانَ بَيْنِ امْرِئِ الْقَيْسِ وَبَيْنَ أَحَدٍ خُصُومَةٌ فَاخْتَصَمَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَ الْحَضْرَمِيَّ الْبَيِّنَةَ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بَيِّنَةٌ فَقَضَى عَلَى امْرِئِ الْقَيْسِ بِالْيَمِينِ فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إنْ أَمْكَنْتَهُ مِنَ الْيَمِينِ ذَهَبَتْ وَاللهِ أَرْضِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ كَاذِبًا لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ» قَالَ رَجَاءُ بْنُ حَيْوَةَ فَتَلَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} الْآيَةَ قَالَ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ فَمَاذَا لِي إنْ تَرَكْتُهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «الْجَنَّةُ» قَالَ فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنِّي تَرَكْتُهَا  

[Machine] That a man from Hadramaut and Imru' al-Qays ibn 'Aabis had a dispute over land, so they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked the man from Hadramaut for evidence, but he had no evidence. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled in favor of Imru' al-Qays ibn 'Aabis by taking an oath. The man from Hadramaut said, "O Messenger of Allah, you have made him victorious by taking an oath, and by Allah, he has taken my land." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever takes a false oath in order to illegally take the wealth of a Muslim, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Imru' al-Qays ibn 'Aabis and recited this verse to him. Imru' al-Qays said, "O Messenger of Allah, for whom did he leave it?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Paradise." Imru' al-Qays said, "Then I bear witness that I have left it."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِن حَضْرَمَوْتَ وامْرِئِ الْقَيْسِ بْنُ عَابِسٍ كَان بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ آخَرَ خُصُومَةٌ فِي أَرْضٍ لَه فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْحَضْرَمِيَّ الْبَيِّنَةَ فَلَمْ يَكُن لَه بَيِّنَةٌ فَقَضَى عَلَى امْرِئِ الْقَيْسِ بِالْيَمِينِ فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمْكَنْتَهُ مِن الْيَمِينِ ذَهَبَ وَاللهِ بِأَرْضِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ كَاذِبَةٍ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهِ مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللهُ وَهُو عَلَيْه غَضْبَانُ» وَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ امْرِئِ الْقَيْسِ فَتَلَا عَلَيْه هَذِه الْآيَةَ فَقَالَ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَمَا لِمَنْ تَرَكَهَا؟ قَالَ «الْجَنَّةُ» قَالَ فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُك أَنِّي قَدْ تَرَكْتُهَا  

[Machine] That Al-Qays ibn 'Abis Al-Kindi had a dispute with the Messenger of Allah about a man from Hadramawt in a land, so the Messenger of Allah asked the Hadrami for evidence, but he did not have any evidence. So the Messenger of Allah judged against Al-Qays by taking an oath. The Hadrami said, "O Messenger of Allah, did you think that the oath was gone from me, by Allah, I am pleased." The Messenger of Allah said, "Whoever swears a false oath in order to wrongfully take the property of his brother, will meet Allah on the Day of Resurrection while Allah is angry with him." A man then said, and the Messenger of Allah recited the verse, "Verily, those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths... [Quran 3:77]" until the end of the verse. Imam Al-Qays bin Abis then said, "O Messenger of Allah, what about those who abandon it?" He said, "They have Paradise." Al-Qays said, "I bear witness that I have abandoned it."  

أَنَّ امْرَأَ الْقَيْسِ بْنَ عَابِسٍ الْكِنْدِيَّ خَاصَمَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلًا مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ فِي أَرْضٍ فَسَأَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْحَضْرَمِيَّ الْبَيِّنَةَ فَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ بَيِّنَةٌ فَقَضَى عَلَى امْرِئِ الْقَيْسِ بِالْيَمِينِ فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ أَمْكَنْتَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مِنَ الْيَمِينِ ذَهَبَتْ وَاللهِ أَرْضِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ كَاذِبَةٍ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ أَخِيهِ لَقِيَ اللهَ ﷻ يَوْمَ يَلْقَاهُ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ قَالَ وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ وَتَلَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران 77] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ قَالَ فَقَالَ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَمَاذَا لِمَنْ تَرَكَهَا؟ قَالَ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنِّي قَدْ تَرَكْتُهَا  

[Machine] There was a dispute between a man from the tribe of Qais and a man from Hadramaut, so they went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to settle it. The man from Qais said, "O Messenger of Allah, clarify the matter for us, or else let him take an oath." The man from Hadramaut said, "O Messenger of Allah, if he takes an oath, he will wrongfully take my land." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever takes a false oath in order to wrongfully take his brother's property, will meet Allah while He is displeased with him." Then Imru' al-Qais said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the reward for the one who leaves it unclaimed?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Paradise." Imru' al-Qais replied, "Then I bear witness that I have left it." Jarir added, "Ayub also said that when we heard Adi speak about the story of Al-Urs bin Amirah, he recited this verse: 'Verily, those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths...’ [Quran 3:77] until the end, but I didn't commit it to memory from Adi."  

كَانَ بَيْنَ امْرِئِ الْقَيْسِ وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ خُصُومَةٌ فَارْتَفَعُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ بَيِّنَتُكَ وَإِلَّا فَيَمِينُهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ حَلَفَ ذَهَبَ بِأَرْضِي قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ كَاذِبَةٍ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ أَخِيهِ لَقِيَ اللهَ ﷻ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ فَقَالَ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَمَا لِمَنْ تَرَكَهَا مُحِقًّا؟ قَالَ الْجَنَّةُ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنِّي قَدْ تَرَكْتُهَا قَالَ جَرِيرٌ فَزَادَنِي أَيُّوبُ وَكُنَّا جَمِيعًا حِينَ سَمِعْنَا مِنْ عَدِيٍّ قَالَ قَالَ عَدِيٌّ فِي حَدِيثِ الْعُرْسِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران 77] إِلَى آخِرِهَا وَلَمْ أَحْفَظْهَا مِنْ عَدِيٍّ  

" عَنِ الْعُرْسِ بْنِ عُمَيْرَةَ الْكِنْدِىِّ قَالَ: اخْتَصَمَ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ بْنُ عَابِسٍ الْكِنْدِىُّ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْت، فَسَأَلَ الْحَضْرَمىَّ الْبَيِّنَةً فَلَمْ تَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ بَيِّنَةٌ، فَقَضَى عَلَى امْرِئِ الْقَيْسِ بِالْيَمِينِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحَضْرَمِىُّ يَا رَسُولَ الله قَضَيْتَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْيَمِينِ ذَهَبَتْ أَرْضِى، فَقالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَاجِرَةٍ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا حَقَّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لقىَ الله وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ، فَقَالَ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ: مَا لِمَنْ تَرَكَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ الله؟ قَالَ: الْجَنَّةُ، قَالَ: فأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الأَرْضَ أَرْضُهُ، فَلَمَّا ارْتَدَّتْ كِنْدَةُ ثَبَتَ عَلَى الإِسْلَامِ فَلَمْ يَرْتَدَّ".  

" كَانَ بَيْنَ امْرِئِ الْقَيْسِ وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْت خُصُومَةٌ فَارْتَفَعْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فَقَالَ لِلْحَضْرَمِىَّ: بِيِّنَتكَ وَإلَّا فَيَمينُهُ، قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ الله إِنْ حَلَفَ ذَهَبَ بِأَرْضِى، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ كَاذِبَةٍ لِيَقْتَطِع بِهَا مَالًا لَقِىَ الله وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ، قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ الله فَمَا لِمَنْ تَرَكهَا وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ حَقٌّ؟ قَالَ: الْجَنَّةُ، قَالَ: فَإِنِّى أُشْهِدُكَ أَنِّى قَدْ تَرَكْتُهَا".
