Chapter 25 · The Office of the Judge (Kitab Al-Aqdiyah)إِذَا كَانَ الْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ ذِمِّيًّا أَيَحْلِفُ
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ، قَالَ: كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْيَهُودِ أَرْضٌ، فَجَحَدَنِي، فَقَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَلَكَ بَيِّنَةٌ، قُلْتُ: لَا، قَالَ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ: احْلِفْ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِذًا يَحْلِفُ وَيَذْهَبُ بِمَالِي، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلا [سورة آل عمران آية :77] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ .

I said: No. He then said to the Jew: Swear an oath I said Messenger of Allah, he will swear an oath and go off my property. So Allah sent down: “Those who barter for a small price Allah’s covenant and their oaths. . . . to the end of the verse.
