ذِكْرُ السَّبَبِ الَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ

ibnhibban:5086Abū Yaʿlá > Abū Khaythamah > Muḥammad b. Khāzim > al-Aʿmash > Shaqīq > ʿAbdullāh

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)

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever takes a false oath to deprive somebody of his property will meet Allah while He will be angry with him." Allah revealed: 'Verily those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's covenant, and their oaths.' ........(3.77) Al-Ashath came (to the place where ʿAbdullah was narrating) and said, "What has Abu ʿAbdur- Rahman (i.e. ʿAbdullah) been telling you? This verse was revealed concerning me. I had a well in the land of a cousin of mine. The Prophet ﷺ asked me to bring witnesses (to confirm my claim). I said, 'I don't have witnesses.' He said, 'Let the defendant take an oath then.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! He will take a (false) oath immediately.' Then the Prophet ﷺ mentioned the above narration and Allah revealed the verse to confirm what he had said." (See Hadith No. 692)

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever takes a false oath so as to take the property of a Muslim (illegally) will meet Allah while He will be angry with him." Al-Ash'ath said: By Allah, that saying concerned me. I had common land with a Jew, and the Jew later on denied my ownership, so I took him to the Prophet who asked me whether I had a proof of my ownership. When I replied in the negative, the Prophet asked the Jew to take an oath. I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! He will take an oath and deprive me of my property." So, Allah revealed the following verse: "Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's covenant and their oaths." (3.77)

Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) said, "Whoever took a false oath in order to grab somebody's property will meet Allah while Allah will be angry with him." Allah revealed the following verse to confirm that:--"Verily! Those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's covenant And their oaths...a painful torment." (3.77) Al-Ash'ath bin Qais came to us and asked as to what Abu Abdur-Rehman (i.e. Ibn Mas'ud) was telling you." We related the story to him. On that he said, "He has told the truth. This verse was revealed about me. I had some dispute with another man regarding a well and we took the case before Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said (to me), "Produce two witnesses (to support your claim); otherwise the defendant has the right to take an oath (to refute your claim).' I said, 'The defendant would not mind to take a false oath." Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, 'Whoever took a false oath in order to grab someone else's property will meet Allah, Allah will be angry with him.' Allah then revealed what Confirmed it." Al-Ash'ath then recited the following Verse:--"Verily! Those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's covenant, And their oaths . . . (to) . . . they shall have a painful torment!'

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If somebody takes a false oath in order to get the property of a Muslim (unjustly) by that oath, then Allah will be angry with him when he will meet Him." Al-Ash'ath informed me, "By Allah! This was said regarding me. There was a dispute about a piece of land between me and a man from the Jews who denied my right. I took him to the Prophet. Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me, 'Do you have an evidence?' I replied in the negative. He said to the Jew, 'Take an oath.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!

He who perjured with a view to appropriating the property of a Muslim, and he is in fact a liar and would meet Allah in a state that He would be angry with him. He (the narrator) said: There came Ash'ath b. Qais and said (to the people): What does Abu Abdur-Rahman (the Kunya of Abdullah b. Umar) narrate to you? They replied: So and so. Upon this he remarked: Abu Abdur-Rahman told the truth. This (command) has been revealed in my case. There was a piece of land in Yemen over which I and another person had a claim. I brought the dispute with him to the Messenger of Allah (to decide) He (the Holy Prophet) said: Can you produce an evidence (in your support)? I said: No. He (the Holy Prophet) observed: (Then the decision would be made) on his oath. I said: He would readily take an oath. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remarked: He who perjured for appropriating the wealth of a Muslim, whereas he is a liar, would meet Allah while He would be angry with him. This verse was then revealed:" Verily those who barter Allah's covenant and their oaths at a small price..." (iii 77).

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever takes a false oath to deprive a Muslim of his wealth, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." Al-Ash'ath bin Qais said: "It is about me, by Allah! There was a dispute about some land between myself and a man from the Jews who denied my ownership of it, so I took him to the Prophet ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: 'Do you have any proof ?' I said: 'No'. So he said to Jew: 'Take an oath.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! If he takes an oath then my property will be gone!' So Allah, Most High revealed: Verily those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths.. until the end of the Ayah."  

[Abu 'Eisa said:] There are narrations on this topic from Wa'il bin Hujr, Abu Musa, Abu Umamah bin Tha'labah Al-Ansari, and 'Imran bin Husain. The Hadith of Ibn Mas'ud is a Hasan Sahih Hadith.

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever takes a false oath to deprive a Muslim of his property, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." So Al-Ash'ath bin Qais said: "By Allah! This was about me. There was a dispute between myself and a Jewish man who denied my right, and I complained against him to the Prophet ﷺ. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: 'Do you have any proof?' I said: 'No.' So he said to the Jew: 'Take an oath.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! If he takes an oath then I will lose my property.' So Allah, Blessed and Most High, revealed: Verily those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's covenant and their oaths... until the end of the Ayah. (3:77)"

“There was a dispute between myself and a Jewish man concerning some land, and he denied me my rights so I brought him to the Prophet ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: 'Do you have proof' I said: 'No.’ He said to the Jews, 'Swear an oath.' I said: 'If he swears an oath he will take my property.' Then Allah, Glorious is He, revealed: 'Verily, those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's covenant and their oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter (Paradise). Neither will Allah neither speak to them nor look at them on the Day of Resurrection nor will He purifies them, and they shall have a painful torment.'”

[Machine] "What is Abu Abdurrahman telling you?" They replied, "He said that Al-Ash'ath is telling the truth. There was a dispute between me and another man in a certain land, so I brought the case to the Prophet ﷺ . He asked me if I had any evidence. I said no. He pointed to his right hand and said, 'Then he should take an oath.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever takes an oath falsely to take away the property of a Muslim while he is in possession of it, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him.' Then the verse was revealed, 'Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price...' (Aal Imran 3:77)."

[Machine] In this verse, it was revealed to me that I had a piece of land in the possession of my paternal uncle. So, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, "Do you want me to arbitrate or shall I uphold his oath?" I said, "If he has taken an oath, then you should arbitrate, O Messenger of Allah." So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever takes an oath, while he is still a sinner and uses it to wrongfully take the wealth of a Muslim, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." So, Allah revealed the verse: "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price..." until the end of the verse.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever swears an oath in order to seize a Muslim's property, while he is angry and the dispute is unresolved, he meets Allah while He is angry." Al-Ash'ath entered and asked, "What did Abu 'Abd al-Rahman (referring to the Prophet) tell you?" We replied with what was said, so he recited the verse that was revealed to him, "I had a dispute with a man over a piece of land, so I referred the matter to the Prophet. I had no evidence, so he asked me, 'Do you swear?' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, if I do, will it be permissible?' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever swears an oath in order to take a person's property while knowing that he is false, he meets Allah while He is angry.' And the verse was revealed, "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price..." until the end of the verse.

[Machine] There was a dispute between a man from the Qays tribe and another person, so they went to the Prophet ﷺ for arbitration. The Hadrami asked for evidence, but he did not have any. So, the Prophet ﷺ ruled in favor of the man from the Qays tribe by taking an oath. The Hadrami said, "O Messenger of Allah, if it is possible for you to take an oath from him, I am willing to accept it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever takes a false oath will meet Allah while He is angry with him." Raja' bin Haywa then recited the verse of the Quran, "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price..." The man from the Qays tribe asked, "What will I gain, O Messenger of Allah, if I leave it?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Paradise." He said, "Then, I bear witness that I leave it."

[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.
