Jami at-Tirmidhi 1340 (Book 15, Hadith 20) #26918
The Importance of Truthfulness and Justice

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of truthfulness and justice, and how taking an oath to wrongfully consume someone else's property will lead to Allah's anger.

'Alqamah bin Wa'il bin Hujr narrated from his father who said: "A man from Hadhramaut and a man from Kindah came to the Prophet ﷺ. The Hadrami said: 'O Messenger of Allah! This person took some land of mine'. The Kindi said:'It is my land, It is in my possession, and he has no right to it'. So the Prophet ﷺ said to the Hadrami:'Do you have proof?' He said: 'No'. He said: 'Then you will have the oath'. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah! This man is a liar, it makes not difference what he takes an oath for, he is not ashamed of doing anything!' He said: 'There is nothing you deserve from him except that'. He said: So the man was left to take an oath for it, and in the meantime, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'If he takes an oath for your property to wrongfully consume it, He will meet Allah while He is angry with him".
