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)،

English translation

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. Upon hearing this, Ash'ath (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This command was revealed regarding my incident, the details of which are as follows: There was some land shared between me and a Jew. The Jew denied my share, so I brought him to the service of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) asked me: Do you have any witnesses? I replied: No. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said to the Jew: Then you swear an oath. I said: O Messenger of Allah! He will take my wealth by swearing an oath. Upon this, Allah revealed this verse up to the end: "Those who exchange Allah's covenant and their oaths for a small price..."
