English narration

Narrated by وائل بن حجر الحضرمي

Narrated Alqamah bin Wail bin Hujr al-Hadrami: On the Authority of his father: A man from Hadramawt and a man of Kindah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Al-Hadrami said: Messenger of Allah, this (man) took away forcibly from me the land which belongs to my father. Al-Kindi said: It is my land in my possession, and I cultivate it, he has no right to it. The Prophet ﷺ then said to al-Hadrami: Have you any proof ? He said: No. He then said: So for you is his oath. He said: Messenger of Allah, he is liar, he does not care for which he is taking the oath. He does not refrain himself from anything. The Prophet ﷺ said: You will have nothing from him except that. He went to take an oath for him. When he turned his back, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If he takes an oath on the property to take it away by unfair means, he will meet Allah while He is unmindful of him.

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : "

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ ، وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ كِنْدَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ هَذَا غَلَبَنِي عَلَى أَرْضٍ كَانَتْ لِأَبِي ، فَقَالَ الْكِنْدِيُّ : هِيَ أَرْضِي فِي يَدِي أَزْرَعُهَا ، لَيْسَ لَهُ فِيهَا حَقٌّ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلْحَضْرَمِيِّ : أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ ؟ ، قَالَ : لَا ، قَالَ : فَلَكَ يَمِينُهُ ؟ ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّهُ فَاجِرٌ لَا يُبَالِي مَا حَلَفَ عَلَيْهِ ، لَيْسَ يَتَوَرَّعُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا ذَاكَ ، فَانْطَلَقَ لِيَحْلِفَ لَهُ ، فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَمَا لَئِنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى مَالٍ لِيَأْكُلَهُ ظَالِمًا ، لَيَلْقَيَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَهُوَ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضٌ
