Book 52: Witnesses · Hadith 32

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ يَسْتَحِقُّ بِهَا مَالاً لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ، ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ ‏{‏إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ‏}‏ إِلَى ‏{‏عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ‏}‏‏.‏ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الأَشْعَثَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ مَا يُحَدِّثُكُمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَحَدَّثْنَاهُ بِمَا، قَالَ، فَقَالَ صَدَقَ لَفِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ، كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ خُصُومَةٌ فِي شَىْءٍ، فَاخْتَصَمْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏"‏ شَاهِدَاكَ أَوْ يَمِينُهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّهُ إِذًا يَحْلِفُ وَلاَ يُبَالِي‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ يَسْتَحِقُّ بِهَا مَالاً وَهْوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ اقْتَرَأَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ‏.‏

Narrated Abu Wail:`Abdullah (bin Mas`ud) said, "Whoever takes a (false) oath in order to grab some property (unjustly), Allah will be angry with him when he will meet Him. Allah confirmed that through His Divine Revelation: "Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's covenant and their oaths . . . they will have a painful punishment." (3.77) Al-Ash'ath bin Qais came to us and asked, 'What is Abu `Abdur-Rahman (i.e. `Abdullah) telling you? 'We told him what he was narrating to us. He said, 'He was telling the truth; this Divine Verse was revealed in connection with me. There was a dispute between me and another man about something and the case was filed before Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who said, 'Produce your two witnesses or else the defendant is to take an oath.' I said, The defendant will surely take a (false) oath caring for nothing.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Whoever takes a false oath in order to grab (other's) property, then Allah will be angry with him when he will meet Him.' Then Allah revealed its confirmation. Al-Ashath then recited the above Divine Verse

Abu Wail bataate hain: Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) ne kaha: "Jo koi (jhuti) qasam khata hai kisi jaidad ko (na-haqq) haasil karne ke liye, Allah usse naraaz hokar milega jab woh usse mulaqaat karega. Allah ne yeh apni wahi se tasdeeq ki: 'Beshak! Woh log jo Allah ke ahad aur apni qasmon ke badle mein thoda faaida khareedte hain... unke liye dardnaak saza hai' (3:77)." Al-Ash'ath bin Qais humare paas aaye aur pucha: "Abu Abdur-Rahman (yaani Abdullah) tumhe kya bata rahe hain?" Humne unhe bataya jo woh humein bata rahe the. Unhone kaha: "Unhone sach kaha; yeh Ayat mere maamle ke silsile mein nazil hui. Mera aur ek doosre shaks ka kisi cheez ke baare mein jhagda hua aur maamla Allah ke Rasool ke paas laaya gaya jinhone kaha: 'Apne do gawaah pesh karo, warna mudda alaih ko qasam lene do.' Maine kaha: 'Mudda alaih zaroor (jhuti) qasam le lega, kisi cheez ki parwaah kiye bina.' Nabi ne kaha: 'Jo koi jhuti qasam khata hai (doosron ki) jaidad na-haqq haasil karne ke liye, Allah usse naraaz hokar milega jab woh usse mulaqaat karega.'" Phir Allah ne iski tasdeeq nazil ki. Al-Ash'ath ne phir upar wali Ayat padhi.
