And Allah revealed in its confirmation: 'Verily! Those who purchase a small gain at thecost of Allah's covenants and their own oaths.' (3.77) (The sub-narrator added:) Al-Ash'ath bin Qaisentered, saying, "What did Abu `Abdur-Rahman narrate to you?" They said, "So-and-so," Al-Ash'athsaid, "This verse was revealed in my connection. I had a well on the land of my cousin (and we had adispute about it). I reported him to Allah 's Apostle who said (to me). "You should give evidence (i.e.witness) otherwise the oath of your opponent will render your claim invalid." I said, "Then he (myopponent) will take the oath, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Whoever is ordered (by theruler or the judge) to give an oath, and he takes a false oath in order to grab the property of a Muslim,then he will incur Allah's Wrath when he meets Him on the Day of Resurrection."
