Be honest in your testimony, Take your oaths seriously .

This hadith discusses the importance of taking an oath when there is a dispute between two parties. It tells the story of a man from Banu Sahm who died in a land where no Muslim was present and his heirs returned with his inheritance but did not find a silver cup with lines of gold. When they found out that Tamim ad-Dari and Adi ibn Badda' had bought it, two men from the heirs swore that their witness was more reliable than theirs and said that the cup belonged to their man. As a result, Allah revealed verse 4:6 which states “O ye who believe! When death approaches any of you” as punishment for them for taking false oaths. This hadith teaches us that we should be honest in our testimony and take our oaths seriously as it can have serious consequences if we do not do so truthfully. We should also remember to be truthful in all matters even if it means admitting our mistakes or wrongdoings as this will lead us to success both in this world and hereafter.
