[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Whoever swears an oath while he is in a state of sin, with the intention of seizing the wealth of a Muslim, then let him meet Allah while He is angry with him." Al-Ash'ath said: "By Allah, that happened between myself and a man from the Jews. There was a disputed land between us, and he denied my claim, so I brought him to the Prophet, ﷺ . The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to me, 'Do you have proof?' I said, 'No.' So he said to the Jew, 'Swear.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, if he swears, then he will take my wealth.' So Allah revealed the verse: 'Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their oaths for a small price will have no share in the Hereafter' (Quran 3:77)." And Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us that Ahmad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, from Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Hanbal, from his father, from Abu Mu'awiyah, from Al-A'mash, who mentioned it with a similar chain of narration.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللهَ ﷻ 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 قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِذًا يَحْلِفُ فَيَذْهَبُ بِمَالِي؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا أُولَئِكَ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ} [آل عمران 77] الْآيَةَ 20715 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ثنا الْأَعْمَشُ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلَهُ
