حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّجُودِ، عَنْ شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، ثَلَاثَةَ أَحَادِيثَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ اقْتَطَعَ مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ " قَالَ: فَجَاءَ الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، فَقَالَ: مَا يُحَدِّثُكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ؟ قَالَ: فَحَدَّثْنَاهُ، قَالَ فِيَّ كَانَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ، خَاصَمْتُ ابْنَ عَمٍّ لِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بِئْرٍ كَانَتْ لِي فِي يَدِهِ، فَجَحَدَنِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " بَيِّنَتُكَ أَنَّهَا بِئْرُكَ وَإِلَّا فَيَمِينُهُ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا لِي بَيَّنَهٌ (٢) ، وَإِنْ تَجْعَلْهَا بِيَمِينِهِ تَذْهَبْ بِئْرِي، إِنَّ خَصْمِي امْرُؤٌ فَاجِرٌ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ اقْتَطَعَ مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ " قَالَ: وَقَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ: {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ} الْآيَةَ [آل عمران: ٧٧] (٣)، ،
