A man who claims something, establishes proof of it, and is made to swear he did not sell it

Al-Harith says: If a man makes a claim about a riding animal in another man's possession, saying that it is his animal, which he had lost, I will not tell the witnesses to testify that he neither sold it nor gave it away as a gift. Rather, when the witnesses have testified that it is his animal, which he had lost, I will take an oath from the claimant that he neither sold it nor gave it away as a gift.

Shurayh says: When the witnesses have testified that it is his, I will take an oath from him, that he swear: I have neither destroyed it nor ordered anyone to destroy it.

Hassan bin Thumamah says that Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) recognized a camel of his and brought the case before a judge of the Muslims. In the judgment an oath fell upon Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), so he swore by Allah, besides whom there is no god, that he had neither sold it nor given it away as a gift.
