حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْفِرْيَابِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنِي كُرْدُوسٌ عَنِ الأَشْعَثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ
أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنْ كِنْدَةَ وَرَجُلاً مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ اخْتَصَمَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي أَرْضٍ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَرْضِي اغْتَصَبَنِيهَا أَبُو هَذَا وَهِيَ فِي يَدِهِ قَالَ هَلْ لَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ قَالَ لاَ وَلَكِنْ أُحَلِّفُهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا أَرْضِي اغْتَصَبَنِيهَا أَبُوهُ فَتَهَيَّأَ الْكِنْدِيُّ لِلْيَمِينِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَقْتَطِعُ أَحَدٌ مَالاً بِيَمِينٍ إِلاَّ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ أَجْذَمُ فَقَالَ الْكِنْدِيُّ هِيَ أَرْضُهُ

A man of Kindah and a man of Hadramawt brought their dispute to the Prophet ﷺ 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 ﷺ 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.
