Bayhaqi 19872 — Reports on the false oath (al-yamin al-ghamus)

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ مِنْ أَصْلِ كِتَابِهِ، أنبأ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَصْرِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، أنبأ يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ أَعْجَلَ الْخَيْرِ ثَوَابًا صِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ، وَإِنَّ أَعْجَلَ الشَّرِّ عُقُوبَةً الْبَغْيُ، وَالْيَمِينُ الصَّبْرُ الْفَاجِرَةُ تَدَعُ الدِّيَارَ بَلَاقِعَ " قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: مَنْ حَلَفَ عَامِدًا لِلْكَذِبِ، فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ لَقَدْ كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ كَفَّرَ، وَقَدْ أَثِمَ وَأَسَاءَ حَيْثُ عَمَدَ الْحَلِفَ بِاللهِ بَاطِلًا، قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: فَإِنْ قَالَ: وَمَا الْحُجَّةُ فِي أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ، وَقَدْ عَمَدَ الْبَاطِلَ؟ قِيلَ: أَقْرَبُهَا قَوْلُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، " فَلْيَأْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ، وَلْيُكَفِّرْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ "، فَقَدْ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَعْمَدَ الْحِنْثَ.
Makhul (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The good deed whose reward comes most quickly is maintaining ties of kinship, and the evil whose punishment comes most quickly is rebellion and transgression; and the false oath leaves homes desolate."
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Whoever deliberately swears falsely, saying: By Allah! such-and-such happened, when it did not, must give the expiation; he is a sinner and has done wrong by swearing falsely by Allah.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If someone says: What is the proof that he must give the expiation when he intended a falsehood? He will be told: The closest proof is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Let him do the better thing and give the expiation for his oath." So he commanded him to break his oath deliberately.
