أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَبَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ قَالَ
كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلَانِ يَخْتَصِمَانِ فِي أَرْضٍ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هَذَا انْتَزَى عَلَى أَرْضِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَهُوَ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ الْكِنْدِيُّ وَخَصْمُهُ رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ عَبْدَانَ قَالَ بَيِّنَتُكَ قَالَ لَيْسَ لِي بَيِّنَةٌ قَالَ يَمِينُهُ قَالَ إِذًا يَذْهَبُ بِهَا قَالَ لَيْسَ إِلَّا ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا قَامَ لِيَحْلِفَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنِ اقْتَطَعَ أَرْضًا ظُلْمًا لَقِيَ اللهَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ»

✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when two men came to him disputing about a piece of land. One of them said: "O Messenger of Allah, this man seized my land in the days of ignorance." He was Imru' al-Qays al-Kindi, and his opponent was Rabi'ah b. Abdan. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Your evidence." He said: "I have no evidence." He said: "Then his oath." He said: "Then he will take it." He said: "There is nothing else." When he stood up to swear, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever seizes land wrongfully will meet Allah on the Day of Resurrection while He is angry with him."
