Abu Dawud
Oaths and Vows
Book Number: 015 / Hadith Number: 3238
Narated By Al-Ash'ath ibn Qays : A man of Kindah and a man of Hadramawt brought their dispute to the Prophet (pbuh) about a land in the Yemen. Al-Hadrami said: Apostle 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 Apostle of Allah (pbuh) 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.
