Narrated from Sayyiduna Ash’ath bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a dispute between a man from Kindah and a man from Hadhramaut over a piece of land in Yemen. The man from Hadhramaut said: O Messenger of Allah! This land is mine; he and his father have wrongfully seized it. The man from Kindah said: O Messenger of Allah! This land is mine; I inherited it from my father. The man from Hadhramaut said: O Messenger of Allah! Take an oath from him that he does not know that this land is mine and my father’s, and that the usurper is his father. The man from Kindah was ready to take the oath, but when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that whoever seizes someone’s property through a false oath, on the Day of Resurrection, when he meets Allah Almighty, his hand will be cut off. Upon hearing this statement, the man from Kindah said: This land belongs to him and his father.
