Messenger of Allah, only this man has appropriated my land which belonged to my father. The one who had came from Kinda contended. This is my land and is in my possession: I cultivate it. There is no right for him in it. The Messenger of Allah said to the Hadramite: Have you any evidence (to support you)? He replied in the negative. He (the Messenger of Allah) said: Then your case is to be decided on his oath. He (the Hadramite) said: Messenger of Allah, he is a liar and cares not what he swears and has no regard for anything. Upon this he (the Messenger of Allah) remarked: For you then there is no other help to it. He (the man from Kinda) set out to take an oath. When he turned his back the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed: If he took an oath on his property with a view to usurping it, he would certainly meet his Lord in a state that He would turn away from him.  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ كِنْدَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذَا قَدْ غَلَبَنِي عَلَى أَرْضٍ لِي كَانَتْ لأَبِي فَقَالَ الْكِنْدِيُّ هِيَ أَرْضِي فِي يَدِي أَزْرَعُهَا لَيْسَ لَهُ فِيهَا حَقٌّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِلْحَضْرَمِيِّ أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَلَكَ يَمِينُهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ فَاجِرٌ لاَ يُبَالِي عَلَى مَا حَلَفَ عَلَيْهِ وَلَيْسَ يَتَوَرَّعُ مِنْ شَىْءٍ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنْهُ إِلاَّ ذَلِكَ فَانْطَلَقَ لِيَحْلِفَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمَّا أَدْبَرَ أَمَا لَئِنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى مَالِهِ لِيَأْكُلَهُ ظُلْمًا لَيَلْقَيَنَّ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضٌ  

On the Authority of his father: A man from Hadramawt and a man of Kindah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Al-Hadrami said: Messenger of Allah, this (man) took away forcibly from me the land which belongs to my father. Al-Kindi said: It is my land in my possession, and I cultivate it, he has no right to it. The Prophet ﷺ then said to al-Hadrami: Have you any proof ? He said: No. He then said: So for you is his oath. He said: Messenger of Allah, he is liar, he does not care for which he is taking the oath. He does not refrain himself from anything. The Prophet ﷺ said: You will have nothing from him except that. He went to take an oath for him. When he turned his back, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If he takes an oath on the property to take it away by unfair means, he will meet Allah while He is unmindful of him.  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ كِنْدَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذَا غَلَبَنِي عَلَى أَرْضٍ كَانَتْ لأَبِي فَقَالَ الْكِنْدِيُّ هِيَ أَرْضِي فِي يَدِي أَزْرَعُهَا لَيْسَ لَهُ فِيهَا حَقٌّ قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِلْحَضْرَمِيِّ أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَلَكَ يَمِينُهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ فَاجِرٌ لاَ يُبَالِي مَا حَلَفَ عَلَيْهِ لَيْسَ يَتَوَرَّعُ مِنْ شَىْءٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنْهُ إِلاَّ ذَاكَ فَانْطَلَقَ لِيَحْلِفَ لَهُ فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَا لَئِنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى مَالٍ لِيَأْكُلَهُ ظَالِمًا لَيَلْقَيَنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ وَهُوَ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضٌ  

A man from Hadramaw and a man from kindah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The hadrami said: Messenger of Allah, this (man) has seized land which belonged to my father. Al-Kindi said: That is my land in my possession and I cultivate it; he has no right to it. The Holy prophet (may be peace upon him) said to the Hadrami: Have you any proof? We said : No. he (the Prophet)said: Then he will swear an oath for you . He said: Messenger of Allah, he is a reprobate and he would not care to swear to anything and stick at nothing. He said: That is only your recourse  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ كِنْدَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذَا غَلَبَنِي عَلَى أَرْضٍ كَانَتْ لأَبِي فَقَالَ الْكِنْدِيُّ هِيَ أَرْضِي فِي يَدِي أَزْرَعُهَا لَيْسَ لَهُ فِيهَا حَقٌّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِلْحَضْرَمِيِّ أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَلَكَ يَمِينُهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ فَاجِرٌ لَيْسَ يُبَالِي مَا حَلَفَ لَيْسَ يَتَوَرَّعُ مِنْ شَىْءٍ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنْهُ إِلاَّ ذَلِكَ  

"A man from Hadramawt and a man from Kindah came to the Prophet ﷺ. The Hadrami said: 'O Messenger of Allah! This person took some land of mine.' The Kindi said:'It is my land, It is in my possession, and he has no right to it.' So the Prophet ﷺ said to the Hadrami:'Do you have proof?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Then you will have the oath.' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah! This man is a liar, it makes not difference what he takes an oath for, he is not ashamed of doing anything!' He said: 'There is nothing you deserve from him except that.' He said: So the man was left to take an oath for it, and in the meantime, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'If he takes an oath [for your property] to wrongfully consume it, He will meet Allah while He is angry with him."

[Machine] Al-Hadrami, O Messenger of Allah, this has overwhelmed me on a land that belonged to my father. Al-Kindi said, it is my land in my possession, I cultivate it and he has no right in it. The Prophet ﷺ asked Al-Hadrami, do you have any evidence? He said no. The Prophet ﷺ said, then the land is yours. Abu Ali Al-Rudbari narrated to us, Muhammad Ibn Bakr narrated to us, Abu Dawood narrated to us, Hannad Ibn Al-Sarri narrated to us, Abu Al-Ahwas narrated to us from Simak, from Alqamah Ibn Wael Ibn Hujr Al-Hadrami, from his father who said, a man from Hadramout and a man from Kindah came to the Messenger of Allah.  

الْحَضْرَمِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هَذَا غَلَبَنِي عَلَى أَرْضٍ كَانَتْ لِأَبِي فَقَالَ الْكِنْدِيُّ هِيَ أَرْضِي فِي يَدِي أَزْرَعُهَا لَيْسَ لَهُ فِيهَا حَقٌّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِلْحَضْرَمِيِّ أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَلَكَ يَمِينُهُ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ثنا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ كِنْدَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَهُ  

[Machine] I was with the Prophet ﷺ when two opponents came to him. One of them said, "O Messenger of Allah, this man usurped my land during the period of ignorance, and he is Amr ibn Qays ibn 'Abis Al-Kindi, and his opponent is Rabi'ah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Do you have any evidence?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then his oath will invalidate yours, for he does not care about what he swears by." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have no right over it except for that." When he went to swear his oath, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, if he swears an oath upon his wealth unjustly, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him."  

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَتَاهُ خَصْمَانِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هَذَا انْتَزَى عَلَى أَرْضِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَهُوَ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ بْنُ عَابِسٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ وَخَصْمُهُ رَبِيعَةُ فَقَالَ أَرْضِي أَزْرَعُهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ يَمِينُهُ قَالَ إِذًا يَذْهَبُ بِهَا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يُبَالِي مَا حَلَفَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ لِيَحْلِفَ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ إِنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى مَالِهِ ظُلْمًا لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ
