Mukhtasar Muslim

‘Sayyiduna Wa’il bin Hujr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man from Hadhramaut and a man from Kindah came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The man from Hadhramaut said, “O Messenger of Allah! This man has seized my land which belonged to my father.” The man from Kindah said, “It is my land, it is in my possession, I cultivate it, he has no right in it.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the man from Hadhramaut, “Do you have any witnesses?” He replied, “No.” So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Then take an oath from him.” He said, “O Messenger of Allah! He is a wicked man, he does not fear taking a false oath, and he does not care about anything, he can easily swear.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “This is all that is possible for you from him.” When he went to take the oath, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him as he was leaving, “Beware! If he swears an oath to unjustly take the property of another, he will meet Allah while Allah will turn away from him.”
