A man displayed some merchandise in the market and took an oath that he had been offered a certain price for it while in fact he had not, in order to cheat a man from the Muslims. So then was revealed:-- "Verily! Those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths..."(3.77)  

البخاري:٤٥٥١حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ سَمِعَ هُشَيْمًا أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَوَّامُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى ؓ

أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَقَامَ سِلْعَةً فِي السُّوقِ فَحَلَفَ فِيهَا لَقَدْ أَعْطَى بِهَا مَا لَمْ يُعْطَهُ لِيُوقِعَ فِيهَا رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَنَزَلَتْ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً} إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ
