2416, 2417. Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ūd رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Whoever takes a false oath so as to take the property of a Muslim (illegally) will meet Allāh while He will be angry with him." Al-Ash'ath said: By Allāh, 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 ﷺ who asked me whether I had a proof of my ownership. When I replied in the negative, the Prophet ﷺ asked the Jew to take an oath. I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! He will take an oath and deprive me of my property." So, Allāh revealed the following Verse: "Verily: those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allāh's Covenant and their oaths..." (V.3:77)

٢٤١٦ - ٢٤١٧ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ﵁ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ، لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ، لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ قَالَ: فَقَالَ الْأَشْعَثُ: فِيَّ وَاللهِ كَانَ ذَلِكَ، كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ أَرْضٌ فَجَحَدَنِي، فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ، قُلْتُ: لَا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ: احْلِفْ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِذًا يَحْلِفَ وَيَذْهَبَ بِمَالِي، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: ﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلا﴾ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ.»
