Narrater: (Abdullah bin Mas'ud) Hadidth No: (599)

Allah's Apostle said, ''Whoever takes a false oath so as to take the property of a Muslim (illegally) will meet Allah while He will be angry with him.'' Al-Ash'ath said: By Allah, that saying concerned me. I had common land with a Jew, and the Jew later on denied my ownership, so I took him to the Prophet who asked me whether I had a proof of my ownership. When I replied in the negative, the Prophet asked the Jew to take an oath. I said, ''O Allah's Apostle! He will take an oath and deprive me of my property.'' So, Allah revealed the following verse: ''Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's covenant and their oaths.'' (3.77)
