Alqama ibn Wa’il narrated from his father (may Allah be pleased with him): A man from Hadramawt and a man from Kinda came to the Prophet (ﷺ). The Hadrami said: O Messenger of Allah, this man overpowered me on my land. The Kindi said: It is my land, in my possession, and he has no right to it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to the Hadrami: Do you have proof? He said: No. He said: Then you have his oath. He said: O Messenger of Allah, the man is immoral, he does not care what he swears to, and he has no scruple about anything. He said: You have nothing from him but that. He went to swear for him, and when he turned away, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If he swears to your property to consume it unjustly, he will meet Allah while He turns away from him.
