أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ
الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ
شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ " . فَقَالَ
الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ : فِيَّ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ أَرْضٌ فَجَحَدَنِي ، فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لِي : رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ ؟ " ، قُلْتُ : لَا ، فَقَالَ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ : " احْلِفْ " ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِذًا يَحْلِفُ ، فَيَذْهَبُ بِمَالِي ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى : إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلا سورة آل عمران آية 77 إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَفِي الْبَاب ، عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ ، وَأَبِي مُوسَى ، وَأَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، وَعِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ، وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever swears a false oath in order to unlawfully seize the wealth of a Muslim, will meet Allah while He is angry with him.” Ash’ath bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him) says: By Allah! The Prophet narrated this hadith concerning me. There was a piece of land shared between me and a Jew. He denied my share, so I brought him to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Messenger of Allah asked me: “Do you have any witnesses?” I replied: No. So he said to the Jew: “Take an oath.” I said: O Messenger of Allah! He will swear an oath and consume my property. Then Allah revealed this verse «إن الذين يشترون بعهد الله وأيمانهم ثمنا قليلا» “Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their oaths for a small price...” (Aal ‘Imran: 77).
