Riyad as-Salihin 1713 (Book 17, Hadith 203) #38202
The Consequences of False Oaths

SUMMARY: Taking a false oath is a major sin and will lead to punishment in the afterlife.

Abu Umamah Iyas bin Tha'labah Al-Harithi (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah said, "He who misappropriates the right of a Muslim by taking a false oath, Allah will condemn him to the fire of Hell and will forbid Jannah for him". A person asked: "O Messenger of Allah, even if it is something insignificant?" He replied, "Yes, even if it is the twig of the Arak tree". Muslim.
وعن أبي أُمامة إياس بن ثعلبة الحارثي رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله قال‏:‏ ‏"‏من اقتطع حق امرئ مسلم بيمينه، فقد أوجب الله له النار‏.‏ -وحرم عليه الجنة‏"‏ فقال له رجل‏:‏ وإن كان شيئًا يسيرًا يا رسول الله‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏"‏وإن كان قضيبًا من أراك‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
