bayhaqi:21220Abīh Fī Qiṣṣah al-Ḥaḍramī And al-Kindī

[Machine] Al-Hadrami, O Messenger of Allah, this has overwhelmed me on a land that belonged to my father. Al-Kindi said, it is my land in my possession, I cultivate it and he has no right in it. The Prophet ﷺ asked Al-Hadrami, do you have any evidence? He said no. The Prophet ﷺ said, then the land is yours. Abu Ali Al-Rudbari narrated to us, Muhammad Ibn Bakr narrated to us, Abu Dawood narrated to us, Hannad Ibn Al-Sarri narrated to us, Abu Al-Ahwas narrated to us from Simak, from Alqamah Ibn Wael Ibn Hujr Al-Hadrami, from his father who said, a man from Hadramout and a man from Kindah came to the Messenger of Allah.

abudawud:3245Hannād b. al-Sarī > Abū al-Aḥwaṣ > Simāk > ʿAlqamah b. Wāʾil b. Ḥujr al-Ḥaḍramī from his father

On the Authority of his father: A man from Hadramawt and a man of Kindah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Al-Hadrami said: Messenger of Allah, this (man) took away forcibly from me the land which belongs to my father. Al-Kindi said: It is my land in my possession, and I cultivate it, he has no right to it. The Prophet ﷺ then said to al-Hadrami: Have you any proof ? He said: No. He then said: So for you is his oath. He said: Messenger of Allah, he is liar, he does not care for which he is taking the oath. He does not refrain himself from anything. The Prophet ﷺ said: You will have nothing from him except that. He went to take an oath for him. When he turned his back, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If he takes an oath on the property to take it away by unfair means, he will meet Allah while He is unmindful of him.

A man from Hadramaw and a man from kindah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The hadrami said: Messenger of Allah, this (man) has seized land which belonged to my father. Al-Kindi said: That is my land in my possession and I cultivate it; he has no right to it. The Holy prophet (may be peace upon him) said to the Hadrami: Have you any proof? We said : No. he (the Prophet)said: Then he will swear an oath for you . He said: Messenger of Allah, he is a reprobate and he would not care to swear to anything and stick at nothing. He said: That is only your recourse
