حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رضى الله عنه

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ وَهْوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ».

قَالَ فَقَالَ الأَشْعَثُ فِيَّ وَاللَّهِ كَانَ ذَلِكَ، كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ أَرْضٌ فَجَحَدَنِي، فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ».

قُلْتُ لَا. قَالَ فَقَالَ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ «احْلِفْ». قَالَ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذًا يَحْلِفَ، وَيَذْهَبَ بِمَالِي، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى «إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً» إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) 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-Ashath 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 (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) who asked me whether I had a proof of my ownership.

When I replied in the negative, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) asked the Jew to take an oath. I said, “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! 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.” (Ali ‘Imran 3:77).’

‘আবদুল্লাহ (ইবনু মাসঊদ) (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, কোন ব্যক্তি যদি কোন মুসলিমের অর্থ সম্পদ আত্মসাৎ করার উদ্দেশে মিথ্যা শপথ করে, তা হলে সে আল্লাহর সমীপে এমন অবস্থায় হাযির হবে যে, আল্লাহ তার উপর রাগান্বিত থাকবেন।

আশ‘আস (রাঃ) বলেন, আল্লাহর কসম! এটা আমার সম্পর্কেই ছিল, আমার ও এক ইয়াহূদী ব্যক্তির সাথে যৌথ মালিকানায় এক খন্ড জমি ছিল। সে আমার মালিকানার অংশ অস্বীকার করে বসল। আমি তাকে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর কাছে নিয়ে গেলাম।

আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম আমাকে বললেন, তোমার কোন সাক্ষী আছে কি? আমি বললাম, না। তখন তিনি [নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম] ইয়াহূদীকে বললেন, তুমি কসম কর।

আমি তখন বললাম, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! সে তো কসম করবে এবং আমার সম্পত্তি নিয়ে নেবে। তখন আল্লাহ তা‘আলা (এ আয়াত) নাযিল করেনঃ ‘‘যারা আল্লাহর সঙ্গে কৃত প্রতিশ্রুতি এবং নিজেদের শপথকে স্বল্পমূল্যে বিক্রি করে ....... আয়াতের শেষ পর্যন্ত’’- (আলে ইমরান ৭৭)। (২৩৫৬, ২৩৫৭)

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Abu Mu'awiyah] dari [Al A'masy] dari [Syaqiq] dari ['Abdullah radliallahu 'anhu] berkata, Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Barangsiapa yang bersumpah yang dengan sumpahnya itu dia durhaka dan bermaksud mengambil harta seorang Muslim, maka dia kelak akan berjumpa dengan Allah sedang Allah murka kepadanya".

'Abdullah berkata, [Al Asy'ats] berkata: "Demi Allah, ayat itu turun tentang aku, yang dahulu antara aku dan seorang Yahudi ada tanah yang diperebutkan lalu dia mengalahkan aku. Kemudian aku adukan hal itu kepada Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam.

Maka Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam berkata, kepadaku: "Apakah kamu punya bukti?" Aku jawab: "Tidak". Lalu Beliau berkata, kepada orang Yahudi itu: "Bersumpahlah".

Dia berkata,, aku katakan: "Wahai Rasulullah, dia bersumpah sementara dia mengambil hartaku?" Maka turunlah firman Allah QS Alu 'Imran ayat 77 yang artinya ("Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang menukar janji (nya dengan) Allah dan sumpah-sumpah mereka dengan harga yang sedikit…") hingga akhir ayat

Abdullah (İbn Mes'ud) Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in şöyle buyurduğunu nakleder: "Kim bir müslümanın malını elde edebilmek için yalan yere yemin ederse kıyamet günü Allah'ı kendisine kızmış bir şekilde karşısında bulur." Eş'as şöyle demiştir: Allah'a yemin ederim ki bu olay benimle ilgilidir. Benimle bir yahudi arasında bir arazi meselesi vardı.

Yahudi arazinin benim olduğunu inkar etti. Ben de olayı Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'e arzettim. Bana, "Şahidin-delilin var mı?" diye sordu. Ben de "hayır" diye cevap verdim.

Yahudiye "Yemin et" buyurdu. Ben de, "Ey Allah'ın Resulü! Bu durumda yemin eder ve benim malımı elde eder" dedim. Bunun üzerine Allah (c.c), "Allah'a olan ahid ve yeminleri karşılığında az bir bedeli satın alanlar var ya 'işte onların ahirette hiçbir nasibi yoktur. " [Al-i İmran, 77] ayetini indirdi

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) warned against swearing an oath by Allah while knowing that one is lying in his oath in order to unjustly acquire someone else's property. Such a person will meet Allah while He is angry with him. Al-Ash‘ath ibn Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said this when there was a dispute between him and a Jewish man over the ownership of a piece of land.

They both brought their case to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), who then said to Al-Ash‘ath: You must provide evidence to support your claim. If you are unable to do so, then you only have the oath of your opponent, the one being accused.

Al-Ash‘ath said: O Messenger of Allah, then the Jewish man will take an oath without hesitation and take my money. So Allah Almighty revealed confirmation of this in the Qur’an, saying: {Those who trade} and exchange {the covenant of Allah} and His commandment for the believers to fulfill the trust and {their oaths} taken in His name while lying {for a small price} of the worldly gains {they will have no share in the Hereafter} and no portion,

and {Allah will neither speak to them} with words that would bring them joy and benefit; rather, He will be angry with them {nor look at them on the Day of Resurrection} with a look of mercy and compassion {nor will He purify them} with beautiful praise, nor will He purify them with forgiveness for their sins and impurities {and for them there will be a painful punishment} and agonizing due to what they have committed.

What it teaches

  • The prohibition of taking people's wealth wrongfully and deeming that lawful.
  • The strict prohibition of Muslims' rights, whether in small or large matters.
  • The proof is on the claimant, and the oath is on the defendant if he denies it.
  • Two witnesses establish the right. If the claimant does not have evidence, the defendant must take an oath.
  • The prohibition of the (Ghamūs) oath, which is the false oath taken to seize the right of another. It is one of the major sins that exposes its perpetrator to the wrath of Allah Almighty and His punishment.
  • The admonition of the ruler to the litigants, especially when an oath is about to be taken.
