Riyad as-Salihin, 1714

'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-As (May Allah be pleased with them) said:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Of the major sins are: Associating anything in worship with Allah, disobedience to the parents, killing without justification and taking a false oath (intentionally)." [Al- Bukhari]. Another narration is: A bedouin came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked him: "O Messenger of Allah, what are the cardinal sins?" He (ﷺ) replied, "Associating anything with Allah in worship." The man asked: "(What is) next?" The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) replied, "Al-Yamin Al-Ghamus." He asked: "What do you mean by Al-Yamin Al-Ghamus?" The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) replied, "Swearing falsely to usurp the property of a Muslim."

وعن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنهما عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏

‏الكبائر‏:‏ الإشراك بالله، وعقوق الوالدين، وقتل النفس، واليمين الغموس‏

‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ وفي رواية‏:‏ أن أعرابيًا جاء إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال‏:‏ يا رسول الله ما الكبائر‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏ ‏الإشراك بالله‏ ‏ قال‏:‏ ثم ماذا‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏ ‏اليمين الغموس‏ ‏ قلت‏:‏ وما اليمين الغموس‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏ ‏الذي يقتطع مال امرئ مسلم‏ ‏ يعني بيمين هو فيها كاذب

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.
