[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] It is said that a man from Hadhramaut named Amr ibn Abis came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a land and passed judgment against the Hadhrami with clear evidence, although there was no evidence against him. He then passed judgment against Amr ibn Qays with an oath, so the Hadhrami said, "If you have any proof against him, O Messenger of Allah, it is gone. By Allah or by the Lord of the Kaaba, I am satisfied." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever takes a false oath to unjustly appropriate his brother's wealth, he will meet Allah while in a state of anger." Amr ibn Qays said, "May I have your hope, O Messenger of Allah?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the verse, "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price" [Quran 3:77]. Amr ibn Qays then asked, "What is the reward for the one who leaves it, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Paradise." Amr ibn Qays said, "Then bear witness that I have left it for him in its entirety."

ahmad:21837Abū Muʿāwiyah > 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."

[Machine] That Al-Qays ibn 'Abis Al-Kindi had a dispute with the Messenger of Allah about a man from Hadramawt in a land, so the Messenger of Allah asked the Hadrami for evidence, but he did not have any evidence. So the Messenger of Allah judged against Al-Qays by taking an oath. The Hadrami said, "O Messenger of Allah, did you think that the oath was gone from me, by Allah, I am pleased." The Messenger of Allah said, "Whoever swears a false oath in order to wrongfully take the property of his brother, will meet Allah on the Day of Resurrection while Allah is angry with him." A man then said, and the Messenger of Allah recited the verse, "Verily, those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths... [Quran 3:77]" until the end of the verse. Imam Al-Qays bin Abis then said, "O Messenger of Allah, what about those who abandon it?" He said, "They have Paradise." Al-Qays said, "I bear witness that I have abandoned it."

[Machine] There was a dispute between a man from the tribe of Qais and a man from Hadramaut, so they went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to settle it. The man from Qais said, "O Messenger of Allah, clarify the matter for us, or else let him take an oath." The man from Hadramaut said, "O Messenger of Allah, if he takes an oath, he will wrongfully take my land." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever takes a false oath in order to wrongfully take his brother's property, will meet Allah while He is displeased with him." Then Imru' al-Qais said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the reward for the one who leaves it unclaimed?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Paradise." Imru' al-Qais replied, "Then I bear witness that I have left it." Jarir added, "Ayub also said that when we heard Adi speak about the story of Al-Urs bin Amirah, he recited this verse: 'Verily, those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths...’ [Quran 3:77] until the end, but I didn't commit it to memory from Adi."
