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)، ،

Meanwhile, Ash’ath (may Allah be pleased with him) also arrived and asked, “Which hadiths did Abu Abdur Rahman narrate?” We told him. Ash’ath said, “This command was revealed regarding my incident, the details of which are as follows: There was some land jointly owned by me and my cousin. My cousin denied my share, so I brought him to the service of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked me, ‘Do you have any witnesses?’ I replied, ‘No.’ The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said to the Jew, ‘Then you swear an oath.’ I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! He will take my property 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...’”
