Bayhaqi 20708 — The severity of the false oath, and the recommendation

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَينِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ، بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، ثنا مَالِكُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أنبأ جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، ثنا عَدِيُّ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ حَيْوَةَ، وَالْعُرْسِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَدِيٍّ قَالَ: كَانَ بَيْنَ امْرِئِ الْقَيْسِ وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ خُصُومَةٌ، فَارْتَفَعُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " بَيِّنَتُكَ، وَإِلَّا فَيَمِينُهُ "، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنْ حَلَفَ ذَهَبَ بِأَرْضِي، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ كَاذِبَةٍ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ أَخِيهِ لَقِيَ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ "، فَقَالَ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَمَا لِمَنْ تَرَكَهَا مُحِقًّا؟ قَالَ: " الْجَنَّةُ "، قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنِّي قَدْ تَرَكْتُهَا. . قَالَ جَرِيرٌ: فَزَادَنِي أَيُّوبُ: وَكُنَّا جَمِيعًا حِينَ سَمِعْنَا مِنْ عَدِيٍّ قَالَ: قَالَ عَدِيٌّ فِي حَدِيثِ الْعُرْسِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ: فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران: ٧٧] إِلَى آخِرِهَا، وَلَمْ أَحْفَظْهَا مِنْ عَدِيٍّ.
Raja' bin Haywah and al-Urs bin Amirah narrate from his father Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a dispute between Imru' al-Qays and a man from Hadramawt. They brought the dispute to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring your proof, or else he takes the oath." He said: O Messenger of Allah! He will take my land by swearing. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever takes his brother's property by means of a false oath will meet Allah while Allah is angry with him." Imru' al-Qays said: O Messenger of Allah! And one who gives it (the land) up even though he is in the right? He said: "He will have Paradise." He said: It is certainly mine, but I give it up.
(b) Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) said that in the hadith of al-Urs bin Amirah (may Allah be pleased with him) it is that this verse was revealed: "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their oaths for a small price." [Surah Al Imran: 77]
