It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that two men brought a dispute of theirs to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the claimant: "Present your evidence." When he had no evidence, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then the oath is due from him (the other man)." At this the man became distressed and said: (O Messenger of Allah!) He will take away my right by his oath. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever swears an oath by which he intends to seize his brother's right unjustly, Allah Almighty will not look at him (with mercy) on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify him, and for him is a painful punishment." When that (other) man heard this warning, he refrained from taking the oath and acknowledged the man's right.
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abu Burdah (may Allah have mercy on him) except Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him), and Ja'far (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
