nasai-kubra:5959Muḥammad b. Ḥātim > Ḥabbān > ʿAbdullāh > al-Ḥārith b. Sulaymān al-Kindī > Kurdūs al-Thaʿlabī > al-Ashʿath b. Qays

[Machine] A man from Hadramaut and a man from Kindah disputed in front of the Prophet ﷺ. The man from Hadramaut said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am pleased if this land is in the hand of its father who wrongfully took it from me." The man from Kindah said, "I am pleased if this land is in my hand as I inherited it from my father." The Prophet ﷺ asked the man from Hadramaut, "Do you have any proof, O brother of Hadramaut?" He replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah, but take from him with his right hand what he knows is rightfully mine, as his father wrongfully took it from me." The man from Kindah prepared to take an oath, but the Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever seizes property with his right hand, he will meet Allah empty-handed." Upon hearing this, the man from Kindah withdrew his hand and returned the land to the man from Hadramaut.  

الكبرى للنسائي:٥٩٥٩أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا حَبَّانُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الْكِنْدِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا كُرْدُوسُ الثَّعْلَبِيُّ عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ

اخْتَصَمَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ كِنْدَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرْضِي فِي يَدِ هَذَا اغْتَصَبَنِيهَا أَبُوهُ فَقَالَ الْكِنْدِيُّ أَرْضِي فِي يَدِي وَرِثْتُهَا عَنْ أَبِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ يَا أَخَا حَضْرَمَوْتَ؟» قَالَ لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلَكِنْ خُذْ لِي بِيَمِينِهِ مَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا أَرْضِي اغْتَصَبَنِيهَا أَبُوهُ فَتَهَيَّأَ الْكِنْدِيُّ لِيَحْلِفَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنِ اقْتَطَعَ مَالًا بِيَمِينِهِ لَقِيَ اللهَ أَجْدَعَ» فَلَمَّا سَمِعَهَا الْكِنْدِيُّ كَفَّ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَأَعْطَاهُ الْأَرْضَ
