Riyad as-Salihin, 1712

Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) said:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He who takes oath to acquire the property of a Muslim unjustly will meet Allah and He will be angry with him" then he recited: "Verily, those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter. Neither will Allah speak to them nor look at them on the Day of Resurrection nor will He purify them, and they shall have a painful torment." (3:77) [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏

‏من خلف على مال امرئ مسلم بغير حقه، لقي الله وهو عليه غضبان‏

‏ قال‏:‏ ثم قرأ علينا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مصداقه من كتاب الله عز وجل‏:‏ ‏{‏إن الذين يشترون بعهد الله وأيمانهم ثمنًا قليلا‏}‏ ‏(‏‏(‏آل عمران‏:‏ 77‏)‏‏)‏ إلى آخر الآية‏:‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Guidance from the Hadiths: 1) Affirming the gravity of the false oath that a person takes knowingly. It is a major sin that throws the swearer in Hellfire. 2) It is prohibited to take the property of others unjustly, no matter how small it is. Whoever does so incurs the wrath of Allah Almighty and becomes worthy of entering Hellfire. 3) A person should restrain his tongue and be truthful in his speech and oath. 4) The Shariah cares greatly about the rights of people, in terms of their lives, honor, wealth, and the like.
