Sahih al-Bukhari 2569 (Book 52, Hadith 38)

Narrated Abu Wail from `Abdullah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever takes a false oath in order to grab another man’s (or his brother’s)
property, then Allah will be angry with him when he will meet him.” Then Allah confirmed this by
revealing the Divine Verse: “Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah’s Covenant
and their oaths . . . Will get painful punishment.” (3.77) Al-Ash’ath met me and asked, “What did
`Abdullah tell you today?” I said, “So and so.” He said, “The Verse was revealed regarding my case.”

حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏”‏ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ كَاذِبًا لِيَقْتَطِعَ مَالَ رَجُلٍ ـ أَوْ قَالَ أَخِيهِ ـ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ ‏”‏‏.‏ وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ ‏{‏إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً‏}‏ الآيَةَ‏.‏ فَلَقِيَنِي الأَشْعَثُ فَقَالَ مَا حَدَّثَكُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ الْيَوْمَ، قُلْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا‏.‏ قَالَ فِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ‏.‏
