English narration
Narrated by أشعث بن قيس الكندي
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."

قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ : فَمَرَّ الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ ، فَقَالَ : مَا يُحَدِّثُكُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالُوا لَهُ : فَقَالَ الْأَشْعَثُ : نَزَلَتْ فِيَّ ، وَفِي صَاحِبٍ لِي ، فِي بِئْرٍ كَانَتْ بَيْنَنَا .
