English translation

3622. It was narrated from Al-Ash’ath bin Qais that a man from Kindah and a man from Ḥaḍramawt referred a dispute to the Prophet ﷺ concerning some land in Yemen. The Ḥaḍramī man said: “O Messenger of Allāh, my land was usurped by the father of this man, and it is in his possession.” He said: “Do you have any proof?” He said: “No, but make him swear an oath by Allāh that he is unaware that it was my land, which was usurped by his father.” The Kindī man prepared to swear an oath... and he quoted the Hadīth. (Ḥasan)

3622 - حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَرْيَابِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي كُرْدُوسٌ، عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ كِنْدَةَ وَرَجُلًا مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ اخْتَصَمَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فِي أَرْضٍ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ، فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ أَرْضِي اغْتَصَبَنِيهَا أَبُو هَذَا، وَهِيَ فِي يَدِهِ، قَالَ: «هَلْ لَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ؟» قَالَ: لَا وَلَكِنْ أُحَلِّفُهُ، وَاللَّهِ مَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا أَرْضِي اغْتَصَبَنِيهَا أَبُوهُ فَتَهَيَّأَ الْكِنْدِيُّ يَعْنِي لِلْيَمِينِ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ
