Sahih al-Bukhari 2563 (Book 52, Hadith 32)
Allah will be angry with him when he will meet Him. Allah confirmed that through His Divine
Revelation: “Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah’s covenant and their oaths . .
. they will have a painful punishment.” (3.77)
Al-Ash’ath bin Qais came to us and asked, ‘What is Abu `Abdur-Rahman (i.e. `Abdullah) telling you?
‘We told him what he was narrating to us. He said, ‘He was telling the truth; this Divine Verse was
revealed in connection with me. There was a dispute between me and another man about something
and the case was filed before Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) who said, ‘Produce your two witnesses or else the
defendant is to take an oath.’ I said, The defendant will surely take a (false) oath caring for nothing.’
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘Whoever takes a false oath in order to grab (other’s) property, then Allah will be
angry with him when he will meet Him.’ Then Allah revealed its confirmation. Al-Ashath then recited
the above Divine Verse.” (3.77)
