Illegality of Swearing Falsely
عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: مَنْ خلف عَلَى مَالِ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ، لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِصْدَاقَهُ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً} ((آل عمران: 77)) إلى آخر الآية: ((مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ)).
Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He who takes oath to acquire the property of a Muslim unjustly will meet Allah and He will be angry with him" then he recited: "Verily, those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter. Neither will Allah speak to them nor look at them on the Day of Resurrection nor will He purify them, and they shall have a painful torment." (3:77) [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
