English narration
Narrated by أشعث بن قيس الكندي
Narrated Al-Ashath ibn Qays: A man of Kindah and a man of Hadramawt brought their dispute to the Prophet ﷺ about a land in the Yemen. Al-Hadrami said: Messenger of Allah, the father of this (man) usurped my land and it is in his possession. The Prophet asked: Have you any evidence? Al-Hadrami replied: No, but I make him swear (that he should say) that he does not know that it is my land which his father usurped from me. Al-Kindi became ready to take the oath. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If anyone usurps the property by taking an oath, he will meet Allah while his hand is mutilated. Al-Kindi then said: It is his land.

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفِرْيَابِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي كُرْدُوسٌ ، عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ : أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ كِنْدَةَ ، وَرَجُلًا مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ ، اخْتَصَمَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَرْضٍ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ ، فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ : "
يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ أَرْضِي اغْتَصَبَنِيهَا أَبُو هَذَا ، وَهِيَ فِي يَدِهِ ، قَالَ : هَلْ لَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ ؟ ، قَالَ : لَا ، وَلَكِنْ أُحَلِّفُهُ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا أَرْضِي ، اغْتَصَبَنِيهَا أَبُوهُ ، فَتَهَيَّأَ الْكِنْدِيّ لِلْيَمِينِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا يَقْتَطِعُ أَحَدٌ مَالًا بِيَمِينٍ ، إِلَّا لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ أَجْذَمُ ، فَقَالَ الْكِنْدِيُّ : هِيَ أَرْضُهُ
