7184. [H. 7183 contd.]: 'Al-Ash'ath came while 'Abdullāh was narrating (this) to the people. Al-Ash'ath said, "This Verse was revealed regarding me and another man with whom I had a quarrel about a well. The Prophet ﷺ said (to me), 'Do you have an evidence?' I replied, 'No.' He said, 'Let your opponent take an oath.' I said, 'I am sure he would take a (false) oath.' Thereupon it was revealed: 'Verily! Those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allāh's Covenant...' (V.3:77)

Arabic text

٧١٨٤ - فَجَاءَ الْأَشْعَثُ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ، فَقَالَ: فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ وَفِي رَجُلٍ خَاصَمْتُهُ فِي بِئْرٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ قُلْتُ: لَا، قَالَ: فَلْيَحْلِفْ. قُلْتُ: إِذًا يَحْلِفُ فَنَزَلَتْ: ﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ﴾ الْآيَةَ.»
