The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever takes a false oath to deprive somebody of his property will meet Allah while He will be angry with him." Allah revealed: 'Verily those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's covenant, and their oaths.' ........(3.77) Al-Ashath came (to the place where ʿAbdullah was narrating) and said, "What has Abu ʿAbdur- Rahman (i.e. ʿAbdullah) been telling you? This verse was revealed concerning me. I had a well in the land of a cousin of mine. The Prophet ﷺ asked me to bring witnesses (to confirm my claim). I said, 'I don't have witnesses.' He said, 'Let the defendant take an oath then.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! He will take a (false) oath immediately.' Then the Prophet ﷺ mentioned the above narration and Allah revealed the verse to confirm what he had said." (See Hadith No. 692)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ هُوَ عَلَيْهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً} الآيَةَ فَجَاءَ الأَشْعَثُ فَقَالَ مَا حَدَّثَكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ كَانَتْ لِي بِئْرٌ فِي أَرْضِ ابْنِ عَمٍّ لِي فَقَالَ لِي شُهُودَكَ قُلْتُ مَا لِي شُهُودٌ قَالَ فَيَمِينَهُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذًا يَحْلِفَ فَذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ تَصْدِيقًا لَهُ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever takes a false oath so as to take the property of a Muslim (illegally) will meet Allah while He will be angry with him." Al-Ash'ath said: By Allah, that saying concerned me. I had common land with a Jew, and the Jew later on denied my ownership, so I took him to the Prophet who asked me whether I had a proof of my ownership. When I replied in the negative, the Prophet asked the Jew to take an oath. I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! He will take an oath and deprive me of my property." So, Allah revealed the following verse: "Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's covenant and their oaths." (3.77)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ وَهْوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ قَالَ فَقَالَ الأَشْعَثُ فِيَّ وَاللَّهِ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ أَرْضٌ فَجَحَدَنِي فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ قُلْتُ لاَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ احْلِفْ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذًا يَحْلِفَ وَيَذْهَبَ بِمَالِي فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً} إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If somebody takes a false oath in order to get the property of a Muslim (unjustly) by that oath, then Allah will be angry with him when he will meet Him." Al-Ash'ath informed me, "By Allah! This was said regarding me. There was a dispute about a piece of land between me and a man from the Jews who denied my right. I took him to the Prophet. Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me, 'Do you have an evidence?' I replied in the negative. He said to the Jew, 'Take an oath.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! He will surely take an oath and take my property unjustly." So, Allah revealed: "Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's covenant and their oaths . . . " (3.77)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ وَهْوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ قَالَ فَقَالَ الأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فِيَّ وَاللَّهِ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ أَرْضٌ فَجَحَدَنِي فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ لاَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ احْلِفْ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذًا يَحْلِفَ وَيَذْهَبَ بِمَالِي قَالَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً} إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ  

ʿAbdullah bin Masud said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever takes an oath when asked to do so, in which he may deprive a Muslim of his property unlawfully, will meet Allah Who will be angry with him.' So Allah revealed in confirmation of this statement:--"Verily! Those who Purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter..." (3.77) Then entered Al-Ash'ath bin Qais and said, "What is Abu ʿAbdur-Rahman narrating to you?" We replied, 'So-and-so." Al-Ash'ath said, "This Verse was revealed in my connection. I had a well in the land of my cousin (and he denied my, possessing it). On that the Prophet ﷺ said to me, 'Either you bring forward a proof or he (i.e. your cousin) takes an oath (to confirm his claim)' I said, 'I am sure he would take a (false) oath, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' He said, 'If somebody takes an oath when asked to do so through which he may deprive a Muslim of his property (unlawfully) and he is a liar in his oath, he will meet Allah Who will be angry with him.' "  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ يَمِينَ صَبْرٍ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً أُولَئِكَ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُمْ فِي الآخِرَةِ} إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ قَالَ فَدَخَلَ الأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ وَقَالَ مَا يُحَدِّثُكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قُلْنَا كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ كَانَتْ لِي بِئْرٌ فِي أَرْضِ ابْنِ عَمٍّ لِي قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيِّنَتُكَ أَوْ يَمِينُهُ فَقُلْتُ إِذًا يَحْلِفَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينِ صَبْرٍ يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ وَهْوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانٌ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If somebody is ordered (by the ruler or the judge) to take an oath, and he takes a false oath in order to grab the property of a Muslim, then he will incur Allah's Wrath when he will meet Him." And Allah revealed in its confirmation: 'Verily! Those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's covenants and their own oaths.' (3.77) (The sub-narrator added:) Al-Ash'ath bin Qais entered, saying, "What did Abu ʿAbdur-Rahman narrate to you?" They said, "So-and-so," Al-Ash'ath said, "This verse was revealed in my connection. I had a well on the land of my cousin (and we had a dispute about it). I reported him to Allah 's Apostle who said (to me). "You should give evidence (i.e. witness) otherwise the oath of your opponent will render your claim invalid." I said, "Then he (my opponent) will take the oath, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever is ordered (by the ruler or the judge) to give an oath, and he takes a false oath in order to grab the property of a Muslim, then he will incur Allah's Wrath when he meets Him on the Day of Resurrection."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينِ صَبْرٍ يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً} إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ فَدَخَلَ الأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فَقَالَ مَا حَدَّثَكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقَالُوا كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ كَانَتْ لِي بِئْرٌ فِي أَرْضِ ابْنِ عَمٍّ لِي فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ بَيِّنَتُكَ أَوْ يَمِينُهُ قُلْتُ إِذًا يَحْلِفُ عَلَيْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينِ صَبْرٍ وَهْوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ  

He who perjured with a view to appropriating the property of a Muslim, and he is in fact a liar and would meet Allah in a state that He would be angry with him. He (the narrator) said: There came Ash'ath b. Qais and said (to the people): What does Abu Abdur-Rahman (the Kunya of Abdullah b. Umar) narrate to you? They replied: So and so. Upon this he remarked: Abu Abdur-Rahman told the truth. This (command) has been revealed in my case. There was a piece of land in Yemen over which I and another person had a claim. I brought the dispute with him to the Messenger of Allah (to decide) He (the Holy Prophet) said: Can you produce an evidence (in your support)? I said: No. He (the Holy Prophet) observed: (Then the decision would be made) on his oath. I said: He would readily take an oath. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remarked: He who perjured for appropriating the wealth of a Muslim, whereas he is a liar, would meet Allah while He would be angry with him. This verse was then revealed:" Verily those who barter Allah's covenant and their oaths at a small price..." (iii 77).  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينِ صَبْرٍ يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ هُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ قَالَ فَدَخَلَ الأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فَقَالَ مَا يُحَدِّثُكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالُوا كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ صَدَقَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ أَرْضٌ بِالْيَمَنِ فَخَاصَمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلْ لَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ فَقُلْتُ لاَ قَالَ فَيَمِينُهُ قُلْتُ إِذًا يَحْلِفُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينِ صَبْرٍ يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ هُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ فَنَزَلَتْ { إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً} إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ  

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."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ هُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ فَقَالَ الأَشْعَثُ فِيَّ وَاللَّهِ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ أَرْضٌ فَجَحَدَنِي فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ قُلْتُ لاَ قَالَ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ احْلِفْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذًا يَحْلِفُ وَيَذْهَبُ بِمَالِي فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى { إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً } إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ  

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever takes a false oath to deprive a Muslim of his wealth, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." Al-Ash'ath bin Qais said: "It is about me, by Allah! There was a dispute about some land between myself and a man from the Jews who denied my ownership of it, so I took him to the Prophet ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: 'Do you have any proof ?' I said: 'No'. So he said to Jew: 'Take an oath.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! If he takes an oath then my property will be gone!' So Allah, Most High revealed: Verily those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths.. until the end of the Ayah."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ فَقَالَ الأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فِيَّ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ أَرْضٌ فَجَحَدَنِي فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ قُلْتُ لاَ فَقَالَ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ احْلِفْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذًا يَحْلِفَ فَيَذْهَبَ بِمَالِي فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى (إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً ) إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ

So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: 'Do you have any proof?' I said: 'No.' So he said to the Jew: 'Take an oath.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! If he takes an oath then I will lose my property.' So Allah, Blessed and Most High, revealed: Verily those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's covenant and their oaths... until the end of the Ayah. (3:77)"

[Machine] "Whoever takes an oath of patience to deserve wealth for it, while he is a disobedient person in it, will meet Allah when He is angry with him. And indeed, the truth of his claim is in the Quran, 'Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their own oaths for a small price' [Al-Imran 3:77] until the end of the verse. Al-Aswad recited it and said, 'I was informed that this verse was revealed about a man who claimed that he had grazing rights to a specific pasture. So we disputed and went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He asked for witnesses or an oath, so I said, 'Indeed, if he takes an oath, he will be a sinful liar.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whoever takes an oath of patience to deserve wealth for it, will meet Allah when He is angry with him.'"  

مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ صَبْرًا يَسْتَحِقُّ بِهَا مَالًا وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ وَإِنَّ تَصْدِيقَهَا لَفِي الْقُرْآنِ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران 77] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ الْأَشْعَثُ وَهُوَ يَقْرَؤُهَا قَالَ فِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ إِنَّ رَجُلًا ادَّعَى رَكِيًّا لِي فَاخْتَصَمْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ شَاهِدَاكَ أَوْ يَمِينُهُ فَقُلْتُ أَمَا إِنَّهُ إِنْ حَلَفَ حَلَفَ فَاجِرًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَىيَمِينٍ صَبْرًا يَسْتَحِقُّ بِهَا مَالًا لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ  

[Machine] "What is Abu Abdurrahman telling you?" They replied, "He said that Al-Ash'ath is telling the truth. There was a dispute between me and another man in a certain land, so I brought the case to the Prophet ﷺ . He asked me if I had any evidence. I said no. He pointed to his right hand and said, 'Then he should take an oath.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever takes an oath falsely to take away the property of a Muslim while he is in possession of it, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him.' Then the verse was revealed, 'Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price...' (Aal Imran 3:77)."  

مَا يُحَدِّثُكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ؟ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ فَقَالَ الْأَشْعَثُ صَدَقَ فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ خُصُومَةٌ فِي أَرْضٍ فَخَاصَمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَيَمِينُهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِذَنْ يَحْلِفَ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ صَبْرًا لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران 77]  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever unlawfully takes the property of a Muslim, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." Ash'ath ibn Qays came and said: "What is Abu Abdul Rahman telling you?" They said: "He is narrating (hadith) to us." He said: "In fact, this hadith was the subject of my dispute with my cousin before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a well that belonged to me and was in his possession. He denied my claim, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: 'Produce evidence that it is your well; otherwise, his oath will be affirmed.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have no evidence, and if you allow him to keep it in his possession, my well will be lost, as my adversary is a transgressor.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever unlawfully takes the property of a Muslim, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him.' And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited this verse: 'Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah.' [Al-Imran: 77]."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ اقْتَطَعَ مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ قَالَ فَجَاءَ الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فَقَالَ مَا يُحَدِّثُكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ؟ قَالَ فَحَدَّثْنَاهُ قَالَ فِيَّ كَانَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ خَاصَمْتُ ابْنَ عَمٍّ لِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بِئْرٍ كَانَتْ لِي فِي يَدِهِ فَجَحَدَنِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيِّنَتُكَ أَنَّهَا بِئْرُكَ وَإِلَّا فَيَمِينُهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا لِي بَيَّنَهٌ وَإِنْ تَجْعَلْهَا بِيَمِينِهِ تَذْهَبْ بِئْرِي إِنَّ خَصْمِي امْرُؤٌ فَاجِرٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ اقْتَطَعَ مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ قَالَ وَقَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ} الْآيَةَ [آل عمران 77]  

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 اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ» فَقَالَ الْأَشْعَثُ فِيَّ وَاللَّهِ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ أَرْضٌ فَجَحَدَنِي فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ؟ » قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ «احْلِفْ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذًا يَحْلِفُ فَيَذْهَبُ بِمَالِي فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ  

[Machine] In this verse, it was revealed to me that I had a piece of land in the possession of my paternal uncle. So, I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, "Do you want me to arbitrate or shall I uphold his oath?" I said, "If he has taken an oath, then you should arbitrate, O Messenger of Allah." So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever takes an oath, while he is still a sinner and uses it to wrongfully take the wealth of a Muslim, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." So, Allah revealed the verse: "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price..." until the end of the verse.  

فِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ كَانَتْ لِي أَرْضٌ فِي يَدِ عَمٍّ لِي فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «بَيِّنَتُكَ أَوْ يَمِينُهُ» قُلْتُ يَحْلِفُ إِذًا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ صَبْرٍ يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللهَ ﷻ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ الْآيَةَ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ  

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  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever swears an oath to take something unlawfully, and then meets Allah while He is angry with him and his oath is contradicted by the Book of Allah, 'Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price - those will have no share in the Hereafter' [Quran 3:77]." Then Ash'ath ibn Qays came and asked, "What is Abu Abdur Rahman telling you?" We replied, "So and so." He said, "By Allah, this verse was revealed about me and another person. We had a dispute and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Bring your witnesses or take an oath.' I said, 'Then he will swear.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever swears an oath to take something unlawfully, and he is lying in it, when he meets Allah, He will be Angry with him.'" Then Allah revealed the verse.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ يَقْطَعُ بِهَا مَالًا لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ وَتَصْدِيقُهُ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا أُولَئِكَ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ} [آل عمران 77] فَجَاءَ الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فَقَالَ مَا يُحَدِّثُكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ؟ فَقُلْنَا كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ وَاللهِ لَأُنْزِلَتْ فِيَّ وَفِي فُلَانٍ كَانَتْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ خُصُومَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «شُهُودَكَ أَوْ يَمِينَهُ» قُلْتُ إِذَنْ يَحْلِفُ قَالَ «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ يَقْطَعُ بِهَا مَالًا وَهُوَ فِيهَا كَاذِبٌ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ» وَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ الْآيَةَ  

ʿAbdullah bin Masud said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever takes an oath when asked to do so, in which he may deprive a Muslim of his property unlawfully, will meet Allah Who will be angry with him.' So Allah revealed in confirmation of this statement:--"Verily! Those who Purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter..." (3.77) Then entered Al-Ash'ath bin Qais and said, "What is Abu ʿAbdur-Rahman narrating to you?" We replied, 'So-and-so." Al-Ash'ath said, "This Verse was revealed in my connection. I had a well in the land of my cousin (and he denied my, possessing it). On that the Prophet ﷺ said to me, 'Either you bring forward a proof or he (i.e. your cousin) takes an oath (to confirm his claim)' I said, 'I am sure he would take a (false) oath, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' He said, 'If somebody takes an oath when asked to do so through which he may deprive a Muslim of his property (unlawfully) and he is a liar in his oath, he will meet Allah Who will be angry with him.' " (Using translation from Bukhārī 4549)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ صَبْرٍ يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران 77] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ فَدَخَلَ الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فَقَالَ مَا حَدَّثَكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ؟ قَالُوا كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ كَانَتْ لِي بِئْرٌ فِي أَرْضِ ابْنِ عَمٍّ لِي فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ بَيِّنَتَكَ أَوْ يَمِينَهُ قُلْتُ إِذًا يَحْلِفُ عَلَيْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ صَبْرٍ هُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ  

[Machine] Whoever swears an oath and is dishonest in it, seeking by it wealth while he is sinful therein, he will meet Allah while he is angry with him. And the confirmation of that is in the Book of Allah: "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price - they will have no share in the Hereafter" [Al-Imran 3:77]. Thumamah ibn Qays then came to us and said, "What is Abu Abdur Rahman talking to you about?" So we informed him of what he said. Thumamah said, "He has told the truth. A similar incident happened to me. I had a dispute with a man over a well, so we went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He said, 'Do you have any witnesses or evidence?' I replied, 'No, but I am willing to swear an oath.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever swears an oath and is dishonest in it, seeking by it wealth while he is sinful therein, he will meet Allah while he is angry with him.' Then Allah (ﷻ) revealed the confirmation of that and recited this verse: 'Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price - they will have no share in the Hereafter' [Al-Imran 3:77]. This is the wording of the narration of Ishaq.  

مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ يَسْتَحِقُّ بِهَا مَالًا وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ وَتَصْدِيقُ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا أُولَئِكَ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ} [آل عمران 77] الْآيَةَ قَالَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْأَشْعَثَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ مَا يُحَدِّثُكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ؟ فَحَدَّثْنَاهُ بِمَا قَالَ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ لَفِيَّ نَزَلَتْ كَانَتْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ خُصُومَةٌ فِي بِئْرٍ فَاخْتَصَمْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ شَاهِدَاكَ أَوْ يَمِينُهُ فَقُلْتُ إِذًا يَحْلِفُ وَلَا يُبَالِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ يَسْتَحِقُّ بِهَا مَالًا هُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران 77] الْآيَةَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ إِسْحَاقَ  

[Machine] Whoever swears an oath to receive wealth while being sinful and angry with Allah, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him. Then Allah revealed "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their own oaths for a small price" [Quran 3:77] until the end of the verse. Then Ash'ath ibn Qays came to us and said, "What is Abu Abdur-Rahman telling you?" So we informed him of what he had said, and he said, "He has told the truth. This verse was revealed concerning a dispute between me and another man over something. We presented our case to the Prophet ﷺ , and he said, 'Your oath is your witness, or your right hand.' So I said, 'Then he swore an oath, and it does not matter to me.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whoever swears an oath to receive wealth while being sinful and angry with Allah, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him.' Then Allah revealed the confirmation of that, and then he recited this verse."  

مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ يَسْتَحِقُّ بِهَا مَالًا وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران 77] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْأَشْعَثَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ مَا يُحَدِّثُكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ؟ فَحَدَّثْنَاهُ بِمَا قَالَ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ لَفِيَّ نَزَلَتْ كَانَتْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ خُصُومَةٌ فِي شَيْءٍ فَاخْتَصَمْنَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ شَاهِدَاكَ أَوْ يَمِينُهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهُ إِذًا حَلَفَ وَلَا يُبَالِي قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ لِيَسْتَحِقَّ بِهَا مَالًا وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever swears an oath in order to unlawfully take the wealth of a Muslim, he will meet Allah while Allah is angry with him. The confirmation of this is in the book of Allah (swt): 'Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price...' [Al-Imran 3:77]". Until the end of the verse.

Al-Ash'ath bin Qays entered and said, "What has Abu 'Abdur-Rahman told you?" They said, "So and so." He said, "He spoke the truth. The verse was revealed concerning me and a man in Yemen who had a dispute. We presented the case to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he asked, 'Do you have any evidence?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'Then take an oath.' So I swore an oath. He said, 'Whoever swears an oath in order to unlawfully take the wealth of a Muslim, he will meet Allah while Allah is angry with him.' So Allah (swt) revealed the verse: 'Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price...' [Al-Imran 3:77]" until the end of the verse.
