حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الطُّفَيْلِ الْبَكَّائِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ صَبْرًا يَسْتَحِقُّ بِهَا مَالًا وَهُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ، لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ، وَإِنَّ تَصْدِيقَهَا لَفِي الْقُرْآنِ: {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران: ٧٧] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ قَالَ: فَخَرَجَ الْأَشْعَثُ، وَهُوَ يَقْرَؤُهَا، قَالَ: فِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: إِنَّ رَجُلًا ادَّعَى رَكِيًّا لِي، فَاخْتَصَمْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " شَاهِدَاكَ أَوْ يَمِينُهُ " فَقُلْتُ: أَمَا إِنَّهُ إِنْ حَلَفَ، حَلَفَ فَاجِرًا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى، ، يَمِينٍ صَبْرًا يَسْتَحِقُّ بِهَا مَالًا، لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ " (١)،

It is narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever seizes the wealth of a Muslim by swearing a false oath will meet Allah in such a state that Allah will be angry with him.
