Yazid bin Al-Asamm said: "I heard Abu Hurairah say: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: The people will ask you about everything, until they say: Allah created everything, but who created Him?"'

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْأَصَمِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيَسْأَلَنَّكُمْ النَّاسُ عَنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا اللَّهُ خَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَمَنْ خَلَقَهُ.

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, said: 'Your Ummah will keep saying: What is this? What is this? Until they say: Allah created all things, but who created Allah, the Most High?'"

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ مُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِنَّ أُمَّتَكَ لَا يَزَالُونَ يَقُولُونَ مَا كَذَا؟ مَا كَذَا؟ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا هَذَا، اللَّهُ خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ فَمَنْ خَلَقَ اللَّهَ.

It was narrated from Abu Umamah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Whoever swears an oath in order to unlawfully take the right of another Muslim, Allah will decree the Fire for him and forbid Paradise to him." A man said: "Even if it is something insignificant, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Even if it is a twig from an Arak tree."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ ابْنُ أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَلَاءُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَوْلَى الْحُرَقَةِ عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ السَّلَمِيِّ عَنْ أَخِيهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ اقْتَطَعَ حَقَّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِيَمِينِهِ فَقَدْ أَوْجَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ النَّارَ وَحَرَّمَ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ شَيْئًا يَسِيرًا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ وَإِنْ قَضِيبًا مِنْ أَرَاكٍ.

It was narrated from Abu Wa'il, from 'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Whoever is demanded to, and swears a false oath, unlawfully taking the property of another Muslim, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." He (Abu Wa'il) said: "Al-Ash'ath bin Qais came in and said: 'What did Abu 'Abdur-Rahman narrate to you?' They said: 'such-and-such.' He said: 'Abu 'Abdur-Rahman spoke the truth. It was revealed concerning me. There was a dispute between myself and another man concerning some land in Yemen, and I referred the dispute to the Prophet (s.a.w). He said: "Do you have any proof?" I said: "No." He said: "Then (the matter will be decided on the basis of) his oath.'' I said: "He will readily swear an oath.'' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said to me: "Whoever swears a false oath when demanded, in order to unlawfully take the property of another Muslim, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." Then the following was revealed: "Verily, those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter (Paradise). Neither will Allah speak to them nor look at them on the Day of Resurrection nor will He purify them, and they shall have a painful torment."

It was narrated from Abu Wa'il, that 'Abdullah said: "Whoever swears an oath in order to acquire some wealth unlawfully, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him." Then he mentioned a Hadith similar to that of Al-A'mash (no. 355), except that he said: "There was a dispute between myself and another man concerning a well, and we referred the dispute to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), who said: 'Your two witnesses or his oath."'

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ يَسْتَحِقُّ بِهَا مَالًا هُوَ فِيهَا فَاجِرٌ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ الْأَعْمَشِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَتْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ خُصُومَةٌ فِي بِئْرٍ فَاخْتَصَمْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ شَاهِدَاكَ أَوْ يَمِينُهُ.

It was narrated from 'Alqamah bin Wa'il that his father said: "A man from Hadramawt and a man from Kindah came to the Prophet (s.a.w). The Hadrami said: 'O Messenger of Allah, this man has appropriated some land of mine that belonged to my father.' The Kindi said: 'It is my land that is in my possession; I cultivate it, and he has no right to it.' The Prophet (s.a.w) said to the Hadrami: 'Do you have any proof?' He said: 'No.' He (s.a.w) said: 'Then you have his oath.' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the man is an evildoer and does not care what oath he swears, he would not refrain from doing anything.' He (s.a.w) said: 'You have no other choice.' He (the Kindi) swore the oath, and when he turned away, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'If he swore an oath in order to acquire (the other man's) property unlawfully, when he meets Allah, He will turn away from him."'

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَهَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ وَأَبُو عَاصِمٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ وَاللَّفْظُ لِقُتَيْبَةَ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ كِنْدَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذَا قَدْ غَلَبَنِي عَلَى أَرْضٍ لِي كَانَتْ لِأَبِي فَقَالَ الْكِنْدِيُّ هِيَ أَرْضِي فِي يَدِي أَزْرَعُهَا لَيْسَ لَهُ فِيهَا حَقٌّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلْحَضْرَمِيِّ أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَلَكَ يَمِينُهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ فَاجِرٌ لَا يُبَالِي عَلَى مَا حَلَفَ عَلَيْهِ وَلَيْسَ يَتَوَرَّعُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا ذَلِكَ فَانْطَلَقَ لِيَحْلِفَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا أَدْبَرَ أَمَا لَئِنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى مَالِهِ لِيَأْكُلَهُ ظُلْمًا لَيَلْقَيَنَّ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضٌ.

It was narrated that Wa'il bin Hujr said: "I was with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) when two men came to him with a dispute about land. One of them said: 'This man appropriated my land, O Messenger of Allah, during the Jahiliyyah.' That was Imru' Al-Qais bin 'Abis Al-Kindi, and his opponent was Rabi'ah bin 'Ibdan. He (s.a.w) said: 'Bring your proof.' He said: 'I have no proof.' He said: 'His oath.' He (s.a.w) said: 'He will take (the land).' He (s.a.w) said: 'You have no other choice.' When the man stood up to swear his oath, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Whoever seizes land unlawfully, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him.'" Ishaq (another narrator) said in his report, that it was Rabi'ah bin 'Aydan.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "A man came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if a man comes wanting to take my property?' He said: 'Do not give him your property.' He said: 'What if he fights me?' He said: 'Fight him.' He said: 'What if he kills me?' He said: 'Then you will be a martyr.' He said: 'What if I kill him?' He said: 'He will be in the Fire."'

Thabit, the freed slave of 'Umar bin 'Abdur-Rahman, narrated that when there was trouble between 'Abdullah bin 'Amr and 'Anbasah bin Abi Sufyan, and they were about to fight, Khalid bin Al-'As rode to 'Abdullah bin 'Amr and exhorted him (not to fight). 'Abdullah bin 'Amr said: "Do you not know that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Whoever is killed defending his property is a martyr.?"

It was narrated that Al-Hasan said: "Ubaidullah bin Ziyad visited Ma'qil bin Yasar Al-Muzani during his final sickness. Ma'qil said: 'I am going to tell you of a Hadith that I heard from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w); if I knew that I was going to live, I would not tell it to you. I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: "There is no person whom Allah puts in charge of others, and when he dies he has cheated his subjects, but Allah will forbid Paradise to him.'"
