29. Judgements
٢٩۔ كِتَابُ الْقَضَاءِ
[Machine] Two men came to the Prophet ﷺ arguing over a piece of land. One of them said, "It belongs to me," and the other one said, "No, it belongs to me. I have surveyed it and claimed it." When they asked the Prophet ﷺ to decide, he said, "Whoever swears an oath over the property of a Muslim, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." The man who had initially claimed the land gave it up and said, "Paradise is his reward." However, Abu Abdur Rahman disagreed with him, so Jarir ibn Hazim intervened and settled the dispute between him and his father, Raja'a ibn Haywah, and Ursa ibn Amira.
أَتَى رَجُلَانِ يَخْتَصِمَانِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي أَرْضٍ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا هِيَ لِي وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ هِيَ لِي قَدْ حُزْتُهَا وَقَبَضْتُهَا فَلَمَّا تَفَوَّهَ لِيَحْلِفَ قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمَا إِنَّهُ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى مَالِ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ» قَالَ فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا قَالَ الْجَنَّةُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ خَالَفَهُ جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ فَأَدْخَلَ بَيْنَ عَدِيٍّ وَبَيْنَ أَبِيهِ رَجَاءَ بْنَ حَيْوَةَ وَالْعُرْسَ بْنَ عَمِيرَةَ
[Machine] There was a dispute between a man from the tribe of Qays and a man from Hadramaut, so they went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the man from Hadramaut, "Provide evidence or swear an oath." The man said, "O Messenger of Allah, if I swear falsely, my land will be taken away." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever swears a false oath to usurp his brother's rights, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." The man from Qays said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the reward for the one who refrains from doing it even though he knows he is right?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Paradise." The man from Qays said, "I bear witness that I have refrained from doing it." Jarir said, "I was with Ayub Al-Sakhtiyani when we heard this narration from Adi. Ayub said, 'Adi mentioned this in the narration of Al-Arsi bin Amira. And then this verse was revealed, "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price..." (Quran 3:77).' Jarir said, 'I did not remember that day from Adi's narration.'"
كَانَ بَيْنَ امْرِئِ الْقَيْسِ وَرَجُلٍ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ خُصُومَةٌ فَارْتَفَعَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِلْحَضْرَمِيِّ «بَيِّنَتُكَ وَإِلَّا فَيَمِينُهُ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ حَلَفَ ذَهَبَ بِأَرْضِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ كَاذِبَةٍ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا حَقَّ أَخِيهِ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ» قَالَ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَمَا لِمَنْ تَرَكَهَا وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا حَقٌّ قَالَ «الْجَنَّةُ» قَالَ فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنِّي قَدْ تَرَكْتُهَا قَالَ جَرِيرٌ كُنْتُ مَعَ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ حِينَ سَمِعْنَا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ عَدِيٍّ فَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ إِنَّ عَدِيًّا قَالَ فِي حَدِيثِ الْعُرْسِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران 77] قَالَ جَرِيرٌ وَلَمْ أَحْفَظْ يَوْمَئِذٍ مِنْ عَدِيٍّ
