Pearl of Wisdom
speaking to Imri'al-Qays who was in a dispute with another person about a piece of land, said, 'Do you have evidence?' He said, 'No'. The Prophet said, 'Then make him swear [by Allah].' He said, 'In that case, by Allah he will take my land!' The Prophet said, 'If by falsely swearing this person takes the land, he will be among those whom Allah will not look at on the Day of Judgment and He will not purify him, and he will be severely Punished.' He said, 'The person became frightened as a result and returned the land to him.'
Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa] Tanbih al-Khawatir, v. 2, p. 171
