So we brought the dispute to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Your two witnesses, or his oath? I said: If he takes an oath, he will take a false oath. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever takes an oath before a ruler to wrongfully claim someone’s wealth, will meet Allah while He is angry with him.
