29. Book of Defendents
٢٩۔ كِتَابُ الدَّعْوَى
ذِكْرُ إِيجَابِ غَضِبِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا لِلْمُقْتَطِعِ شَيْئًا مِنْ مَالِ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ بِالْيَمِينِ الْفَاجِرَةِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, "Whoever swears falsely by a pact of patience in order to usurp his brother's wealth, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." This is because Allah says, "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price..." until the end of the verse.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينِ صَبْرٍ كَاذِبًا لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ أَخِيهِ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ» وَذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ
ذِكْرُ السَّبَبِ الَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He who swears an oath in which he tells a lie to take the property of a Muslim by unfair means, will meet Allah while He is angry with him. Al-Ash'ath said: I swear by Allah, he said this about me. There was some land between me and a Jew, but he denied it to me; so I presented him to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ asked me: Have you any evidence? I replied: No. He said to the Jew: Take an oath. I said: Messenger of Allah, now he will take an oath and take my property. So Allah, the Exalted, revealed the verse, "As for those who sell the faith they owe to Allah and their own plighted word for a small price, they shall have no portion in the hereafter." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3243)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ» فَقَالَ الْأَشْعَثُ فِيَّ وَاللَّهِ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ أَرْضٌ فَجَحَدَنِي فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ؟ » قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ «احْلِفْ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذًا يَحْلِفُ فَيَذْهَبُ بِمَالِي فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ
ذِكْرُ تَحْرِيمِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الْجَنَّةَ مَعَ إِيجَابِ النَّارِ لِلْفَاعِلِ الْفِعْلَ الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْقَصْدُ فِيهِ الشَّيْءَ الْيَسِيرَ مِنَ الْأَمْوَالِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever takes a false oath in order to illegally seize the wealth of a Muslim, Allah has made Paradise forbidden for him and has made Hellfire obligatory for him." It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, even if it is something insignificant?" He replied, "Even if it is a stick from a date palm."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ فَاجِرَةٍ يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَوْجَبَ لَهُ النَّارَ» قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ شَيْئًا يَسِيرًا؟ قَالَ «وَإِنْ كَانَ قَضِيبًا مِنْ أَرَاكٍ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا الْفِعْلَ لِيُذْهِبَ بِهِ مَالَ أَخِيهِ يَلْقَى رَبَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَهُوَ أَجْذَمُ
“Whoever swears a false oath in order to seize the wealth of a Muslim unlawfully, he will meet Allah when He is angry with him.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2323)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينِ صَبْرٍ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ أَجْذَمَ»
