حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ الْمَکِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ أَبِي رَاشِدٍ وَعَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ سَمِعَا شَقِيقَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَی مَالِ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِصْدَاقَهُ مِنْ کِتَابِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا إِلَی آخِرِ الْآيَةِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 357
It is narrated on the authority of Abdullah that he heard the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saying: He who took an oath in order to entitle himself (to the possession) of a property, whereas he is a liar, would meet Allah in a state that He would be very much angry with him. Then the remaining part of the hadith was narrated as transmitted by A'mash but with the exception of these words: There was a dispute between me and another person in regard to a well. We referred this dispute to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). Upon this he remarked: Either (you should produce) two witnesses (to support your contention) or his oath (would be accepted as valid).
