English narration
Narrated by عبد الله بن مسعود
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever swears falsely in order to grab the property of a Muslim (or of his brother), Allah will be angry with him when he meets Him." Allah then revealed in confirmation of the above statement--'Verily those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their own oaths.' (3.77) Al-Ash'ath said, "This Verse was revealed regarding me and a companion of mine when we had a dispute about a well."

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ ، وَمَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : "
مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ كَاذِبَةٍ ، يَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ ، أَوْ قَالَ : أَخِيهِ ، لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ
" ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَصْدِيقَهُ : إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ سورة آل عمران آية 77 .
