نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُعَلَّى ، وَالْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، قَالا : نَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، نَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ ، نَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ كِنْدَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ هَذَا غَلَبَنِي عَلَى أَرْضٍ كَانَتْ لأَبِي ، فَقَالَ الْكِنْدِيُّ : هِيَ أَرْضِي كَانَتْ فِي يَدِي أَزْرَعُهَا لَيْسَ لَهُ فِيهَا حَقٌّ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، لِلْحَضْرَمِيِّ : " أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ ؟ ، قَالَ : لا ، قَالَ : يَمِينُهُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّهُ لا يُبَالِي عَلَى مَا حَلَفَ وَلا يَتَوَرَّعُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ، فَقَالَ : لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنْهُ إِلا ذَلِكَ ، فَانْطَلَقَ بِهِ لِيُحَلِّفَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا أَدْبَرَ : أَمَا لَئِنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى مَالِهِ لِيَأْكُلَهُ ظُلْمًا ، لَيَلْقَيَنَّ اللَّهُ وَهُوَ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضٌ " .
Alqamah bin Wa'il narrates from his father: A man from Hadhramaut and a man from Kindah came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The man from Hadhramaut said: O Messenger of Allah! This man has seized my land; the land belonged to my father. The other man said: The land is mine and is in my possession; I cultivate it, and this man has no right to it. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) asked the man from Hadhramaut: "Do you have any proof?" He replied: No! The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Then the other party will take an oath." The man from Hadhramaut asked: O Messenger of Allah! He will not care what kind of oath he takes, because he does not refrain from committing sins. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "This is the only way for you." Then that man took the oath. When he left, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "If he has taken an oath regarding the property of another person in order to seize it unjustly, then when he appears before Allah Almighty, Allah will turn away from him."
