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 اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ هُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لِيَقْطَعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ» فَقَالَ الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فِيَّ وَاللهِ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ أَرْضٌ فَجَحَدَنِي فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ؟» فَقُلْتُ لَا فَقَالَ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ «احْلِفْ» فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ إِذًا يَحْلِفُ فَيَذْهَبُ حَقِّي فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران 77] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَاتَنِي مِنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ حَرْفٌ فِيمَا أَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَقِفُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا تَابَعَ أَبَا مُعَاوِيَةَ عَلَى قَوْلِهِ فَقَالَ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ احْلِفْ
