Narrater: (Abdullah (bin Mas'ud)) Hadidth No: (546)

The Prophet said, ''Whoever takes a false oath to deprive somebody of his property will meet Allah while He will be angry with him.'' Allah revealed: Verily those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's covenant, and their oaths.' ……..(3.77) Al-Ash'ath came (to the place where Abdullah was narrating) and said, ''What has Abu Abdur-Rahman (i.e. Abdullah) been telling you? This verse was revealed concerning me. I had a well in the land of a cousin of mine. The Prophet asked me to bring witnesses (to confirm my claim). I said, I don't have witnesses.' He said, Let the defendant take an oath then.' I said, O Allah's Apostle! He will take a (false) oath immediately.' Then the Prophet mentioned the above narration and Allah revealed the verse to confirm what he had said.'' (See Hadith No. 692)
