Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that whoever swears a false oath in order to unlawfully acquire the wealth of a Muslim, will meet Allah in such a state that Allah will be angry with him. Hazrat Ash’ath (may Allah be pleased with him) says that this verse of the Qur’an was revealed about me {إنَّ الَّذِینَ یَشْتَرُونَ بِعَہْدِ اللہِ وَأَیْمَانِہِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِیلاً }. There was a dispute over land between me and a Jew. I brought this case before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He asked me if I had any witnesses. I replied,“No.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then told the Jew to take an oath. I said,“In this way, he will take my property!”Upon this, the aforementioned verse was revealed.
