English narration

Narrated by أشعث بن قيس الكندي

Al-Ashath bin Qais said: A Jew and I shared some land and he denied my right, so I took him to the holy prophet ﷺ. The holy prophet ﷺ said to me: Have you have proof. I said: No. He then said to the Jew: Swear an oath I said Messenger of Allah, he will swear an oath and go off my property. So Allah sent down: “Those who barter for a small price Allah’s covenant and their oaths. . . . " to the end of the verse.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ ، عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ ، قَالَ : "

كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْيَهُودِ أَرْضٌ ، فَجَحَدَنِي ، فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ ، قُلْتُ : لَا ، قَالَ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ : احْلِفْ ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِذًا يَحْلِفُ وَيَذْهَبُ بِمَالِي ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ : إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلا سورة آل عمران آية 77 إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ
