٦٧۔ كِتَابُ الدَّعْوَى وَالْبَيِّنَاتِ
[Machine] Whoever swears an oath to receive wealth while being sinful and angry with Allah, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him. Then Allah revealed "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their own oaths for a small price" [Quran 3:77] until the end of the verse. Then Ash'ath ibn Qays came to us and said, "What is Abu Abdur-Rahman telling you?" So we informed him of what he had said, and he said, "He has told the truth. This verse was revealed concerning a dispute between me and another man over something. We presented our case to the Prophet ﷺ , and he said, 'Your oath is your witness, or your right hand.' So I said, 'Then he swore an oath, and it does not matter to me.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whoever swears an oath to receive wealth while being sinful and angry with Allah, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him.' Then Allah revealed the confirmation of that, and then he recited this verse."
مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ يَسْتَحِقُّ بِهَا مَالًا وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران 77] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْأَشْعَثَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ مَا يُحَدِّثُكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ؟ فَحَدَّثْنَاهُ بِمَا قَالَ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ لَفِيَّ نَزَلَتْ كَانَتْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ خُصُومَةٌ فِي شَيْءٍ فَاخْتَصَمْنَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ شَاهِدَاكَ أَوْ يَمِينُهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهُ إِذًا حَلَفَ وَلَا يُبَالِي قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ لِيَسْتَحِقَّ بِهَا مَالًا وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ
[Machine] I was with the Prophet ﷺ when two opponents came to him. One of them said, "O Messenger of Allah, this man usurped my land during the period of ignorance, and he is Amr ibn Qays ibn 'Abis Al-Kindi, and his opponent is Rabi'ah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Do you have any evidence?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then his oath will invalidate yours, for he does not care about what he swears by." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have no right over it except for that." When he went to swear his oath, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, if he swears an oath upon his wealth unjustly, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him."
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَتَاهُ خَصْمَانِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هَذَا انْتَزَى عَلَى أَرْضِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَهُوَ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ بْنُ عَابِسٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ وَخَصْمُهُ رَبِيعَةُ فَقَالَ أَرْضِي أَزْرَعُهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ يَمِينُهُ قَالَ إِذًا يَذْهَبُ بِهَا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يُبَالِي مَا حَلَفَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ لِيَحْلِفَ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ إِنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى مَالِهِ ظُلْمًا لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ
