Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 23568 — A man who swears a false oath

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever swears an oath in order to seize the property of a Muslim, while he is lying in his oath, will appear before Allah in such a state that Allah Almighty is angry with him." Sayyiduna Ash'ath bin Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) came and asked: "What has Abu Abd al-Rahman narrated to you?" We said: "Such and such." He said: "He has spoken the truth. By Allah, the word of Allah was revealed concerning me. There was a dispute between me and a Jewish man, and we brought our dispute before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He asked: 'Do you have witnesses?' I said: 'No.' He said: 'Then he will have to swear an oath.' I said: 'In that case he will swear.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Whoever swears a false oath,'" and then he mentioned what is in the narration of Sayyiduna Abdullah. Then this verse was revealed: "Indeed, those who sell the covenant of Allah and their oaths for a small price."
