The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever swears an oath falsely in order to seize the property of a Muslim by it will meet Allah while He is angry with him."Ashath bin Qays said, "By Allah, this was about me. There was a piece of land between me and a Jewish man, and he denied my right to it, so I brought him before the Prophet ﷺ.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'Do you have any evidence?'I replied, 'No.'He then said to the Jew, 'Take an oath.'I said, 'Messenger of Allah, then he will swear and take away my property.'So Allah the Exalted revealed, "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their own oaths for a small price..." [Al-Imran 3:77] to the end of the verse."
حدثنا هناد حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن شقيق بن سلمة
قال رسول الله ﷺ من حلف على يمين وهو فيها فاجر ليقتطع بها مال امرئ مسلم لقي الله وهو عليه غضبان فقال الأشعث بن قيس في والله لقد كان ذلك كان بيني وبين رجل من اليهود أرض فجحدني فقدمته إلى النبي ﷺ فقال لي رسول الله ﷺ ألك بينة قلت لا فقال لليهودي احلف فقلت يا رسول الله إذا يحلف فيذهب بمالي فأنزل الله تعالى {إن الذين يشترون بعهد الله وأيمانهم ثمنا قليلا} إلى آخر الآية
