Alqamah bin Wa'il narrates from his father: A man from Hadhramaut and a man from Kindah came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The man from Hadhramaut said: O Messenger of Allah! This man has seized my land; the land belonged to my father. The other man said: The land is mine and is in my possession; I cultivate it, and this man has no right to it. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) asked the man from Hadhramaut: "Do you have any proof?" He replied: No! The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Then the other party will take an oath." The man from Hadhramaut asked: O Messenger of Allah! He will not care what kind of oath he takes, because he does not refrain from committing sins. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "This is the only way for you." Then that man took the oath. When he left, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "If he has taken an oath regarding the property of another person in order to seize it unjustly, then when he appears before Allah Almighty, Allah will turn away from him."
