Volume 8, Book 78, Number 653:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
The Prophet said, "Whoever swears falsely in order to grab the property of a Muslim (or of his
brother), Allah will be angry with him when he meets Him." Allah then revealed in confirmation of
the above statement:–'Verily those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and
their own oaths.' (3.77) Al-Ash'ath said, "This Verse was revealed regarding me and a companion of
mine when we had a dispute about a well."
