[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ : "Whoever takes an oath by my right hand to acquire the property of a Muslim, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited to us this statement as proof from the book of Allah, the Mighty and the Majestic, "Verily, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their own oaths for a small price, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter, nor will Allah speak to them" (Surah Al-Imran, 3:77).  

أحمد:٣٥٧٦حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ جَامِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍيَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ وَقَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِصْدَاقَهُ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ ﷻ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا أُولَئِكَ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللهُ} [آل عمران 77]

quran:3:77

Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their ˹own˺ oaths for a small price will have no share in the Hereafter, and Allah will not speak to them or look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them; and they will have a painful punishment.  

The following was revealed with regard to the Jews when they distorted the descriptions of the Prophet (s) and God’s covenant with them in the Torah, and ˹God’s covenant with them˺ regarding one that swears an oath to a falsehood when bearing witness or when selling merchandise: Those that sell, exchange, God’s covenant, with them that they believe in the Prophet and return faithfully what has been entrusted to them, and their own oaths, their invoking God’s name in mendacity, for a small price, of this world, there shall be no share, ˹no˺ lot, for them in the Hereafter; and God shall not speak to them, out of wrath against them, nor look upon them, ˹nor˺ have mercy upon them, on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them, cleanse them, and theirs will be a painful chastisement.
القرآن:٣:٧٧

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا أُولَٰئِكَ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللَّهُ وَلَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ  

ونزل في اليهود لما بدلوا نعت النبي ﷺ وعهد الله إليهم في التوراة وفيمن حلف كاذبا في دعوى أو في بيع سلعة: {إن الذين يشترون} يستبدلون {بعهد الله} إليهم في الإيمان بالنبي وأداء الأمانة {وأيمانهم} حلفهم به تعالى كاذبين {ثمنا قليلا} من الدنيا {أولئك لا خَلاق} نصيب {لهم في الآخرة ولا يكلمهم الله} غضبا عليهم {ولا ينظر إليهم} يرحمهم {يوم القيامة ولا يزكِّيهم} يطهرهم {ولهم عذاب أليم} مؤلم.

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever takes the property of a Muslim by taking a false oath, will meet Allah Who will be angry with him." Then the Prophet ﷺ recited the Verse:-- 'Verily those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter, neither will Allah speak to them, nor look at them.' (3.77)

I heard the Messenger of Allah observing: He who took an oath on the property of a Muslim without legitimate right would meet Allah and He would be angry, with him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in support of his contention recited the verse:" Verily those who barter Allah's covenant and their oaths at a small price.

"'Abdullah [bin Mas'ud] narrating from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: 'There is no person who does not pay the Zakat due on his wealth but on the Day of Resurrection Allah will make a Shuja'a around his neck.' Then he recited the Ayah for us from the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, testifying to that: And let not those who are stringy with that which Allah has bestowed on them of His bounty... (3:180) And another time he said: 'Testifying to that, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited: On the Day of Resurrection, the things that they were stingy with... (3:180)' and whoever deprives his Muslim brother of his wealth by swearing, then he shall meet Allah while He is angry with him.'

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever takes a false oath to appropriate the property of a Muslim while he is still engaged in the act of sinning, he will meet Allah, Exalted and Glorious, while He is angry with him." He said, "This verse was revealed: 'Verily, those who purchase a small gain at the cost of the covenant of Allah and their oaths...' (Quran 3:77) until the end of the verse."

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Whoever swears a false oath in order to wrongfully take someone's property, or accuses his brother, will meet Allah while He is angry with him. The confirmation of this is revealed in the Quran, 'Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price - for them is no share in the Hereafter' (3:77) until 'a painful punishment' (3:77). Al-Ash'ath then met me and asked, 'What did Abdullah tell you today?' I said to him, 'He mentioned such and such.' Al-Ash'ath said, 'Indeed, it has been revealed about me.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, "Whoever swears falsely by a pact of patience in order to usurp his brother's wealth, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." This is because Allah says, "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price..." until the end of the verse.
