The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever takes a false oath in order to grab another man's (or his brother's) property, then Allah will be angry with him when he will meet him." Then Allah confirmed this by revealing the Divine Verse: "Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths . . . Will get painful punishment." (3.77) Al-Ash'ath met me and asked, "What did ʿAbdullah tell you today?" I said, "So and so." He said, "The Verse was revealed regarding my case."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ كَاذِبًا لِيَقْتَطِعَ مَالَ رَجُلٍ أَوْ قَالَ أَخِيهِ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً} الآيَةَ فَلَقِيَنِي الأَشْعَثُ فَقَالَ مَا حَدَّثَكُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ الْيَوْمَ قُلْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ  

[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.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ كَاذِبًا لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ رَجُلٍ أَوْ قَالَ أَخِيهِ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ وَأُنْزِلَ تَصْدِيقُ ذَلِكَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا أُولَئِكَ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ} [آل عمران 77] إِلَى {عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ} [آل عمران 77] قَالَ فَلَقِيَنِي الْأَشْعَثُ فَقَالَ مَا حَدَّثَكُمْ عَبْدُ اللهِ الْيَوْمَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever swears an oath in order to unlawfully take the wealth of a Muslim, he will meet Allah while Allah is angry with him. The confirmation of this is in the book of Allah (swt): 'Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price...' [Al-Imran 3:77]". Until the end of the verse.

Al-Ash'ath bin Qays entered and said, "What has Abu 'Abdur-Rahman told you?" They said, "So and so." He said, "He spoke the truth. The verse was revealed concerning me and a man in Yemen who had a dispute. We presented the case to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he asked, 'Do you have any evidence?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'Then take an oath.' So I swore an oath. He said, 'Whoever swears an oath in order to unlawfully take the wealth of a Muslim, he will meet Allah while Allah is angry with him.' So Allah (swt) revealed the verse: 'Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price...' [Al-Imran 3:77]" until the end of the verse.  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينِ صَبْرٍ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ وَتَصْدِيقُ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ ﷻ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران 77] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ فَدَخَلَ الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فَقَالَ مَا حَدَّثَكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ؟ قَالَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ صَدَقَ فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ فِي أَرْضٍ بِالْيَمَنِ خُصُومَةٌ فَاخْتَصَمْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلْ لَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَيَمِينُهُ ؟ قُلْتُ إِذًا يَحْلِفُ قَالَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينِ صَبْرٍ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران 77] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah said, "Whoever unjustly takes the wealth of a Muslim by false oath, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." Abdullah then recited to us a verse from the Book of Allah, "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price..." (Quran 3:77)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنِ اقْتَطَعَ مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِيَمِينٍ كَاذِبَةٍ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِصْدَاقَهُ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ ﷻ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران 77] الْآيَةَ  

ʿAbdullah bin Masud said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever takes an oath when asked to do so, in which he may deprive a Muslim of his property unlawfully, will meet Allah Who will be angry with him.' So Allah revealed in confirmation of this statement:--"Verily! Those who Purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter..." (3.77) Then entered Al-Ash'ath bin Qais and said, "What is Abu ʿAbdur-Rahman narrating to you?" We replied, 'So-and-so." Al-Ash'ath said, "This Verse was revealed in my connection. I had a well in the land of my cousin (and he denied my, possessing it). On that the Prophet ﷺ said to me, 'Either you bring forward a proof or he (i.e. your cousin) takes an oath (to confirm his claim)' I said, 'I am sure he would take a (false) oath, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' He said, 'If somebody takes an oath when asked to do so through which he may deprive a Muslim of his property (unlawfully) and he is a liar in his oath, he will meet Allah Who will be angry with him.' " (Using translation from Bukhārī 4549)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ صَبْرٍ يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران 77] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ فَدَخَلَ الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فَقَالَ مَا حَدَّثَكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ؟ قَالُوا كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ كَانَتْ لِي بِئْرٌ فِي أَرْضِ ابْنِ عَمٍّ لِي فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ بَيِّنَتَكَ أَوْ يَمِينَهُ قُلْتُ إِذًا يَحْلِفُ عَلَيْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ صَبْرٍ هُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ
