حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنِ الأَشْعَثِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ أَرْضٌ فَجَحَدَنِي فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " هَلْ لَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ " . قُلْتُ لاَ . قَالَ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ " احْلِفْ " . قُلْتُ إِذًا يَحْلِفَ فَيَذْهَبَ بِمَالِي . فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً} إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ .

Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Numair and Ali bin Muhammad narrated to us. They said: Waki and Abu Muawiyah narrated to us. They said: Al-Amash narrated to us, from Shaqiq, from Al-Ashath bin Qais, who said: There was a piece of land between me and a Jewish man, and he denied my claim to it. So I brought him before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah said to me: Do you have proof? I said: No. He said to the Jewish man: Swear an oath. I said: Then he will swear and take my property. Then Allah, Glorified is He, revealed: Indeed, those who sell the covenant of Allah and their oaths for a small price—to the end of the verse.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic quotes only the opening of Quran 3:77 and says to the end of the verse; the source English supplies a full verse translation, so it is not reproduced as though present in this hadith text.
