Riyad as-Salihin 1712 (Book 17, Hadith 202) #38201
The Consequences of Unjust Oaths

SUMMARY: Taking an oath to acquire the property of a Muslim unjustly is wrong and will lead to punishment in the hereafter.

Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet said, "He who takes oath to acquire the property of a Muslim unjustly will meet Allah and He will be angry with him" then he recited: "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. 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". (3:77) Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه أن النبي قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏من خلف على مال امرئ مسلم بغير حقه، لقي الله وهو عليه غضبان‏"‏ قال‏:‏ ثم قرأ علينا رسول الله مصداقه من كتاب الله عز وجل‏:‏ ‏{‏إن الذين يشترون بعهد الله وأيمانهم ثمنًا قليلا‏}‏ ‏(‏‏(‏آل عمران‏:‏ 77‏)‏‏)‏ إلى آخر الآية‏:‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by Ibn Mas'ud, warns against taking an oath to acquire the property of a Muslim unjustly. It states that those who do so will not be rewarded in the hereafter and will instead face Allah's wrath and punishment. The hadith also recites verse 3:77 from the Quran which further emphasizes this point. This verse states that those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths shall have no portion in the Hereafter, neither will Allah speak to them nor look at them on the Day of Resurrection nor purify them, and they shall have a painful torment. This hadith teaches us that we should never take an oath or make any promises with ill intentions as it can lead us astray from our faith and bring about severe consequences in both this world and hereafter.
