Al-Ash‘ath ibn Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: There was land between me and a Jew, and he denied me, so I brought him to the Prophet (ﷺ). He said: Do you have proof? I said: No. He said to the Jew: Swear. I said: O Messenger of Allah, then he will swear and take my property. So Allah, Exalted is He, revealed: Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their oaths for a small price [Aal-E-Imran: 77], the verse.
