أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ كِنْدَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هَذَا غَلَبَنِي عَلَى أَرْضٍ كَانَتْ لِأَبِي فَقَالَ الْكِنْدِيُّ هِيَ أَرْضِي فِي يَدِي أَزْرَعُهَا لَيْسَ لَهُ فِيهَا حَقٌّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ يَمِينُهُ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ فَاجِرٌ لَا يُبَالِي عَلَى مَا حَلَفَ عَلَيْهِ لَيْسَ يَتَوَرَّعُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ قَالَ «لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا ذَلِكَ» فَانْطَلَقَ لِيَحْلِفَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا أَدْبَرَ «أَمَا إِنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى مَالِهِ لِيَأْكُلَهُ ظُلْمًا لَيَلْقَيَنَّ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضٌ»

- ʿAlqamah b. Wāʾil from his father
✧ A man from Hadramawt and a man from Kindah came to the Prophet ﷺ. The Hadrami said: "O Messenger of Allah, this man has usurped my land that belonged to my father." The Kindi said: "It is my land, in my possession; I cultivate it. He has no right to it." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Do you have evidence?" He said: "No." He said: "Then he must swear an oath." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, the man is wicked; he does not care what he swears, and he does not refrain from anything." He said: "You have no other recourse against him." So the man went to swear. When he turned away, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If he swears falsely to seize his property wrongfully, he will meet Allah while He is turning away from him."
