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.
