[358] 223 - (139) It was narrated from 'Alqamah bin Wā'il that his father said: "A man from Ḥadramawt and a man from Kindah came to the Prophet ﷺ. The Ḥadramī said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, this man has appropriated some land of mine that belonged to my father.' The Kindī said: 'It is my land that is in my possession; I cultivate it, and he has no right to it.' The Prophet ﷺ said to the Ḥadramī: 'Do you have any proof?' He said: 'No.' He (ﷺ) said: 'Then you have his oath.' He said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, the man is an evildoer and does not care what oath he swears, he would not refrain from doing anything.' He (ﷺ) said: 'You have no other choice.' He (the Kindī) swore the oath, and when he turned away, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'If he swore an oath in order to acquire (the other man's) property unlawfully, when he meets Allāh, He will turn away from him.'"

223 - (139) حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَهَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، وَأَبُو عَاصِمٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِقُتَيْبَةَ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ كِنْدَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ هَذَا قَدْ غَلَبَنِي عَلَى أَرْضٍ لِي كَانَتْ لِأَبِي، فَقَالَ الْكِنْدِيُّ: هِيَ أَرْضِي فِي يَدِي أَزْرَعُهَا لَيْسَ لَهُ فِيهَا حَقٌّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلْحَضْرَمِيِّ: «أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ؟» قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: «فَلَكَ يَمِينُهُ»، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ فَاجِرٌ لَا يُبَالِي عَلَى مَا حَلَفَ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَيْسَ يَتَوَرَّعُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ، فَقَالَ: «لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا ذَلِكَ»، فَانْطَلَقَ لِيَحْلِفَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا أَدْبَرَ: «أَمَا لَئِنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى مَالِهِ لِيَأْكُلَهُ ظُلْمًا، لَيَلْقَيَنَّ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضٌ»
