He (Abû Wâ'il) said:"Al-Ash'ath bin Qais came in andsaid: 'What did Abû 'Abdur-Rahmân narrate to you?' Theysaid: 'such-and-such.' He said:'Abû 'Abdur-Rahmân spoke thetruth. It was revealed concerningme. There was a dispute betweenmyself and another manconcerning some land in Yemen,and I referred the dispute to theProphet (ﷺ). He said: "Do youhave any proof?" I said: "No."He said: "Then (the matter willbe decided on the basis of) hisoath." I said: "He will readilyswear an oath." The Messengerof Allâh (ﷺ) said to me:"Whoever swears a false oathwhen demanded, in order tounlawfully take the property ofanother Muslim, he will meetAllâh while He is angry withhim." Then the following wasrevealed: "Verily, those whopurchase a small gain at the costof Allâh's Covenant and theiroaths, they shall have no portionin the Hereafter (Paradise). Neither will Allâh speak to them nor look at them on the Day of Resurrection nor will He purify them, and they shall have a painful torment.”[1]

220 - (138) وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ح، وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، وَوَكِيعٌ، ح، وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينِ صَبْرٍ، يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ هُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ، لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ»، قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، فَقَالَ: مَا يُحَدِّثُكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ؟ قَالُوا: كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ: صَدَقَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ، كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ أَرْضٌ بِالْيَمَنِ، فَخَاصَمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «هَلْ لَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ؟» فَقُلْتُ: لَا، قَالَ: «فَيَمِينُهُ»، قُلْتُ: إِذَنْ يَحْلِفُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ: «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينِ صَبْرٍ، يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ هُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ، لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ» فَنَزَلَتْ: {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران: 77] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ
