Riyad as-Salihin, 214
Abu Umamah (May Allah bepleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah decrees the (Hell) Fire and debars Jannah for the one who usurps the rights of a believer by taking a false oath." One man asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Even if it should be for an insignificant thing?" He said, "Even if it be a stick of the Arak tree (i.e., the tree from which Miswak sticks are taken)". <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن أبي أمامة إياس بن ثعلبة الحارثي رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: " من اقتطع حق امرئ مسلم بيمينه فقد أوجب الله له النار، وحرم عليه الجنة” فقال رجل: وإن كان شيئًا يسيرًا يا رسول الله ؟ فقال: “وإن قضيبًا من أراك” ((رواه مسلم)).
