It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man from Kindah, Amr al-Qais bin ‘Abis, had a dispute with a resident of Hadramaut over a piece of land. Both of them came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) decided that the man from Hadramaut should present evidence, but he had no evidence. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) decided that Amr al-Qais should take an oath. The man from Hadramaut said: O Messenger of Allah! If you ask him to swear an oath, the land will be lost, while, by the Lord of the Ka‘bah, this is my land. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever takes a false oath to unlawfully seize his brother’s wealth will meet Allah while He is angry with him. Raja’, the narrator, says: Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: {إِنَّ الَّذِینَ یَشْتَرُونَ بِعَہْدِ اللّٰہِ وَأَیْمَانِہِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِیلًا} … Indeed, those who exchange Allah’s covenant and their oaths for a small price. Amr al-Qais said: O Messenger of Allah! What is there for the one who gives up this land? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: For him is Paradise. He said: Then bear witness that I have given up all this land for him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that two men brought their dispute to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then he mentioned a narration similar to the one mentioned above.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, he says: I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Whoever, man or woman, swears a false oath by this pulpit of mine, even if he is swearing by a green miswak, the Fire will become obligatory for him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, that two men brought a dispute to the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, demanded evidence from the claimant, but he had no witness. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, made the defendant take an oath, and he swore by Allah, besides whom there is no true deity. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "You have indeed sworn a false oath, but Allah Almighty has forgiven you because you have said 'La ilaha illallah' with sincerity."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that two men brought their dispute to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Meanwhile, Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: This man is lying; the other has a right with him. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to give the other his due, and the expiation for his false oath is his recognition or testimony that Allah alone is the true deity.
