وعن أبي أُمامة 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 له رجل: وإن كان شيئًا يسيرًا يا رسول الله؟ قال: "وإن كان قضيبًا من أراك" ((رواه مسلم)).
English translation
Abu Umamah Iyas bin Tha'labah Al-Harithi (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who misappropriates the right of a Muslim by taking a false oath, Allah will condemn him to the fire of Hell and will forbid Jannah for him." A person asked: "O Messenger of Allah, even if it is something insignificant?" He replied, "Yes, even if it is the twig of the Arak tree." <b>[Muslim]</b>.

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) Affirming the gravity of the false oath that a person takes knowingly. It is a major sin that throws the swearer in Hellfire.<br>
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.<br>
3) A person should restrain his tongue and be truthful in his speech and oath.<br>
4) The Shariah cares greatly about the rights of people, in terms of their lives, honor, wealth, and the like.
