وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ وَوَكِيعٌ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينِ صَبْرٍ ، يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ ، هُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ ، لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ " ، قَالَ : فَدَخَلَ الأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ ، فَقَالَ : مَا يُحَدِّثُكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ؟ قَالُوا : كَذَا وَكَذَا ، قَالَ : صَدَقَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ أَرْضٌ بِالْيَمَنِ ، فَخَاصَمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : هَلْ لَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ ، فَقُلْتُ : لَا ، قَالَ : فَيَمِينُهُ ، قُلْتُ : إِذَنْ يَحْلِفُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ : " مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينِ صَبْرٍ ، يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ ، هُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ ، لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ " ، فَنَزَلَتْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلا سورة آل عمران آية 77 إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ .
It is narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah (b. Umar) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed: He who perjured with a view to appropriating the property of a Muslim, and he is in fact a liar and would meet Allah in a state that He would be angry with him. He (the narrator) said: There came Ash'ath bin Qais and said (to the people): What does Abu Abdur-Rahman (the Kunya of 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) ) narrate to you? They replied: So and so. Upon this he remarked: Abu Abdur-Rahman told the truth. This (command) has been revealed in my case. There was a piece of land in Yemen over which I and another person had a claim. I brought the dispute with him to the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) (to decide) He (the Holy Prophet) said: Can you produce an evidence (in your support)? I said: No. He (the Holy Prophet) observed: (Then the decision would be made) on his oath. I said: He would readily take an oath. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) remarked: He who perjured for appropriating the wealth of a Muslim, whereas he is a liar, would meet Allah while He would be angry with him. This verse was then revealed:" Verily those who barter Allah's covenant and their oaths at a small price..." (iii 77).
