Two women were sitting in a house or a room making socks. One of the women went outside and was pricked in the hand by the needle used for sewing the socks. She made a claim against the other woman. This case came before Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them), and he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If people's claims were accepted merely on the basis of their assertion, many people's blood and wealth would be destroyed." When there is no witness, then warn the other woman, the one accused, to fear Allah and recite before her this verse: (Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their oaths...) Accordingly, when the people warned her to fear Allah, she confessed. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The oath is upon the defendant. If he swears a false oath and seizes someone’s wealth, then he will be subject to the warning mentioned in the verse."
