Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَدِيُّ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي رَجَاءُ بْنُ حَيْوَةَ وَالْعُرْسُ ابْنُ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَدِيٍّ قَالَ خَاصَمَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ كِنْدَةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ بْنُ عَابِسٍ رَجُلًا مِنْ حَضَرَمَوْتَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَرْضٍ فَقَضَى عَلَى الْحَضْرَمِيِّ بِالْبَيِّنَةِ فَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ بَيِّنَةٌ فَقَضَى عَلَى امْرِئِ الْقَيْسِ بِالْيَمِينِ فَقَالَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ إِنْ أَمْكَنْتَهُ مِنْ الْيَمِينِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَهَبَتْ وَاللَّهِ أَوْ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ أَرْضِي
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ كَاذِبَةٍ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ أَخِيهِ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ قَالَ رَجَاءُ وَتَلَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ { إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا } فَقَالَ امْرُؤُ الْقَيْسِ مَاذَا لِمَنْ تَرَكَهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الْجَنَّةُ قَالَ فَاشْهَدْ أَنِّي قَدْ تَرَكْتُهَا لَهُ كُلَّهَا

English Translation
ʿAdī ibn ʿUmayrah al-Kindī said: There was a dispute between Imruʾ al-Qays ibn ʿĀbis and a man from Ḥaḍramawt before the Prophet ﷺ over some land. the Prophet ﷺ said to the Ḥaḍramī: 'Do you have evidence?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Then he must swear an oath.' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, he is a sinful man who does not care what he swears to, and there is nothing to restrain him from anything.' the Prophet ﷺ said: 'You have nothing except that from him.' So Imruʾ al-Qays went to swear the oath. When he turned away, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'If he has sworn a false oath to seize his companion's property, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him.' — Then Imruʾ al-Qays said: 'What is for one who leaves it?' He said: 'Paradise.' He said: 'Bear witness that I have given it up to him entirely.'
