English translation

3243. It was narrated from Shaqīq, from 'Abdullāh who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Whoever swears an oath in which he is lying, in order to usurp the wealth of a Muslim, he will meet Allāh while He is angry with Him.'" Al-Ash'ath said:[1] "That was concerning me, by Allāh. There was a dispute concerning some land between myself and a Jewish man, but he denied it, so I brought him to the Prophet ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ said to me: 'Do you have any proof?' I said: 'No.' He said to the Jew: 'Swear an oath.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, then he will swear an oath and take away my property.' Then Allāh, Most High, revealed: Verily, those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allāh's Covenant and their oaths, ...'" until the end of the Verse.[2] (Sahih)

3243 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، وَهَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ الْمَعْنَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ هُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ، لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ، لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ» فَقَالَ الْأَشْعَثُ: فِيَّ وَاللَّهِ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ أَرْضٌ، فَجَحَدَنِي فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ؟» قُلْتُ: لَا، قَالَ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ: «احْلِفْ» قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِذًا يَحْلِفُ وَيَذْهَبُ بِمَالِي، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران: 77] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ
