Chapter: When a man swears an oath on a basis of what he knows and not on the basis of what he has witnessed.
Hadith 3622
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَرْيَابِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي كُرْدُوسٌ ، عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، " أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ كِنْدَةَ ، وَرَجُلًا مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ ، اخْتَصَمَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَرْضٍ مِنْ الْيَمَنِ ، فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ أَرْضِي اغْتَصَبَنِيهَا أَبُو هَذَا ، وَهِيَ فِي يَدِهِ قَالَ : هَلْ لَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ ؟ ، قَالَ : لَا ، وَلَكِنْ أُحَلِّفُهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا أَرْضِي اغْتَصَبَنِيهَا أَبُوهُ فَتَهَيَّأَ الْكِنْدِيُّ يَعْنِي لِلْيَمِينِ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ " .
Al-Ashath bin Qais said: A men from Kindah and a men from Hadramawt came to the Holy Prophet ﷺwith their dispute about a land in the Yemen. The Hadrami said: Messenger of Allah, the this (man)had usurped land belonging to me, and it is his possession. He asked: Have you any proof ?He replied: No, but I can have him swear on oath. Allah knows that it is my land, and father seized it from me. The Kindi was prepared to take oath. He then narrated the rest of the tradition.
