بَابُ: {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً أُولَئِكَ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُمْ} لاَ خَيْرَ:Chapter. “Verily, those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah’s Covenant and their oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter (Paradise)... (till)... and they shall have a painful torment. ” (V.3:77)
Hadith 4549
اُردوEn
أَلِيمٌ مُؤْلِمٌ مُوجِعٌ مِنَ الْأَلَمِ وَهْوَ فِي مَوْضِعِ مُفْعِلٍ .
The meaning of «أليم» is "one who causes pain," just as «مؤلم» is. «أليم» is on the pattern of «فعيل», meaning «مفعل» (which is rarely used in the Arabic language).
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ حَلَفَ يَمِينَ صَبْرٍ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلا أُولَئِكَ لا خَلاقَ لَهُمْ فِي الآخِرَةِ سورة آل عمران آية 77 إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ ، قَالَ : فَدَخَلَ الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ ، وَقَالَ : مَا يُحَدِّثُكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ؟ قُلْنَا : كَذَا وَكَذَا ، قَالَ : فِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ ، كَانَتْ لِي بِئْرٌ فِي أَرْضِ ابْنِ عَمٍّ لِي ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " بَيِّنَتُكَ أَوْ يَمِينُهُ " ، فَقُلْتُ : إِذًا يَحْلِفَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينِ صَبْرٍ يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ وَهْوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانٌ " .
Narrated Abu Wail: `Abdullah bin Masud said, "Allah's Messenger said, 'Whoever takes an oath when asked to do so, in which he may deprive a Muslim of his property unlawfully, will meet Allah Who will be angry with him.' So Allah revealed in confirmation of this statement:--"Verily! Those who Purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter..." (3.77) Then entered Al-Ash'ath bin Qais and said, "What is Abu `Abdur-Rahman narrating to you?" We replied, 'So-and-so." Al-Ash'ath said, "This Verse was revealed in my connection. I had a well in the land of my cousin (and he denied my, possessing it). On that the Prophet said to me, 'Either you bring forward a proof or he (i.e. your cousin) takes an oath (to confirm his claim)' I said, 'I am sure he would take a (false) oath, O Allah's Messenger .' He said, 'If somebody takes an oath when asked to do so through which he may deprive a Muslim of his property (unlawfully) and he is a liar in his oath, he will meet Allah Who will be angry with him.' "

Hadith Commentary:
In one narration, it is mentioned that there was a dispute over land between Ash'ath (radi Allahu anhu) and a Jew.
Abdullah ibn Abi Awfa (radi Allahu anhu) said that this verse was revealed regarding the person who, in the marketplace, placed goods and swore a false oath, claiming that he had been offered such-and-such a price for the goods, but in reality, he had not been offered that amount.
The verse is general, and its ruling remains in effect even now.
How many people acquire unlawful wealth by repeatedly swearing false oaths!
How many people achieve success in false lawsuits!
All of these fall under the purview of this verse.

Hadith Commentary:
Selling out one’s religion and breaking covenants will be a cause of deprivation on the Day of Resurrection.
In another hadith, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Whoever usurps the right of a Muslim by means of a false oath, Allah has made the Fire obligatory for him and has forbidden Paradise for him.”
The narrator asked:
“O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! Even if it is something insignificant?” (Will the Fire still be obligatory for him?)
He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) replied:
“Yes! Even if it is only a green twig of a tree.”
(Sahih Muslim, Al-Iman, Hadith: 353(137))
In any case, in the noble verse, five warnings are mentioned regarding breaking covenants.
And Allah is the One whose help is sought.
