وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلاَنِ يَخْتَصِمَانِ فِي أَرْضٍ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا إِنَّ هَذَا انْتَزَى عَلَى أَرْضِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ - وَهُوَ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ بْنُ عَابِسٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ وَخَصْمُهُ رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ عِبْدَانَ - قَالَ " بَيِّنَتُكَ " . قَالَ لَيْسَ لِي بَيِّنَةٌ . قَالَ " يَمِينُهُ " . قَالَ إِذًا يَذْهَبُ بِهَا . قَالَ " لَيْسَ لَكَ إِلاَّ ذَاكَ " . قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَامَ لِيَحْلِفَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنِ اقْتَطَعَ أَرْضًا ظَالِمًا لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ " . قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ عَيْدَانَ .
Zuhayr ibn Harb and Ishaq ibn Ibrahim narrated this to me, both from Abu al-Walid. Zuhayr said: Hisham ibn 'Abd al-Malik narrated to us; Abu 'Awana narrated to us, from 'Abd al-Malik ibn 'Umayr, from 'Alqama ibn Wa'il, from Wa'il ibn Hujr, who said: I was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when two men came to him disputing over land. One said: Messenger of Allah, this man seized my land from me in pre-Islamic times. He was Imru' al-Qays ibn 'Abis al-Kindi, and his opponent was Rabi'a ibn 'Abdan. He asked: Do you have evidence? The man said: I have no evidence. He said: Then his oath. The man replied: In that case, he will take it. He said: You have no other recourse. When the man stood to swear, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever wrongfully takes land will meet Allah while He is angry with him. Ishaq's version gives the opponent's name as Rabi'a ibn 'Aydan.
