حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ كَاذِبًا لِيَقْتَطِعَ مَالَ رَجُلٍ ـ أَوْ قَالَ أَخِيهِ ـ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ " . وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَصْدِيقَ ذَلِكَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً} الآيَةَ. فَلَقِيَنِي الأَشْعَثُ فَقَالَ مَا حَدَّثَكُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ الْيَوْمَ، قُلْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا. قَالَ فِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ.

Bishr ibn Khalid narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us, from Shuʿba, from Sulayman, from Abu Waʾil, from ʿAbdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: “Whoever swears a false oath to seize a man’s property”—or he said, “his brother’s”—“will meet Allah while He is angry with him.” Allah revealed in the Qur’an in confirmation of this: “Indeed, those who exchange Allah’s covenant and their oaths for a small price…” The verse. Al-Ashʿath met me and said: “What did ʿAbdullah tell you today?” I said: “Such-and-such.” He said: “It was revealed concerning me.”
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic gives “a man—or he said, his brother” as a wording variant and cites only the beginning of the Qur’anic verse.
