حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي كُرْدُوسٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ كِنْدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرَجُلًا مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏اخْتَصَمَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَرْضٍ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّ أَرْضِي اغْتَصَبَنِيهَا أَبُو هَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهِيَ فِي يَدِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَلْ لَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنْ أُحَلِّفُهُ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا أَرْضِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏اغْتَصَبَنِيهَا أَبُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَهَيَّأَ الْكِنْدِيّ لِلْيَمِينِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا يَقْتَطِعُ أَحَدٌ مَالًا بِيَمِينٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِلَّا لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ أَجْذَمُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ الْكِنْدِيُّ:‏‏‏‏ هِيَ أَرْضُهُ .

A man of Kindah and a man of Hadramawt brought their dispute to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم about a land in the Yemen. Al-Hadrami said: Messenger of Allah, the father of this (man) usurped my land and it is in his possession. The Prophet asked: Have you any evidence? Al-Hadrami replied: No, but I make him swear (that he should say) that he does not know that it is my land which his father usurped from me. Al-Kindi became ready to take the oath. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: If anyone usurps the property by taking an oath, he will meet Allah while his hand is mutilated. Al-Kindi then said: It is his land.
