Jami` at-Tirmidhi: Book 15, Hadith 20
‘Alqamah bin Wa’il narrated from his father who said: “A man from Hadramawt and a man from Kindah came to the Prophet (ﷺ). The Hadrami said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! This person took some land of mine.’ The Kindi said:’It is my land, It is in my possession, and he has no right to it.’ So the Prophet (ﷺ) said to the Hadrami:’Do you have proof?’ He said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Then you will have the oath.’ He said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! This man is a liar, it makes not difference what he takes an oath for, he is not ashamed of doing anything!’ He said: ‘There is nothing you deserve from him except that.’ He said: So the man was left to take an oath for it, and in the meantime, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘If he takes an oath to wrongfully consume it, He will meet Allah while He is angry with him.”
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ كِنْدَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذَا غَلَبَنِي عَلَى أَرْضٍ لِي . فَقَالَ الْكِنْدِيُّ هِيَ أَرْضِي وَفِي يَدِي لَيْسَ لَهُ فِيهَا حَقٌّ . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِلْحَضْرَمِيِّ ” أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ ” . قَالَ لاَ . قَالَ ” فَلَكَ يَمِينُهُ ” . قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ فَاجِرٌ لاَ يُبَالِي عَلَى مَا حَلَفَ عَلَيْهِ وَلَيْسَ يَتَوَرَّعُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ . قَالَ ” لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنْهُ إِلاَّ ذَلِكَ ” . قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ الرَّجُلُ لِيَحْلِفَ لَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمَّا أَدْبَرَ ” لَئِنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى مَالِكَ لِيَأْكُلَهُ ظُلْمًا لَيَلْقَيَنَّ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضٌ ” . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عُمَرَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَالأَشْعَثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
