2323 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّنَافِسِيُّ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ، يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ، لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ»

Commentary
False oath is a major sin, particularly when its purpose is to wrongfully take the property of another person. Taking the property of a non-Muslim wrongfully is also a crime, but a Muslim taking the property of another Muslim by unlawful means is an even worst sin and offence.
