Al-Ash‘ath ibn Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: A man from Kinda and a man from Hadramawt disputed before the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) over land in Yemen. The Hadrami said: O Messenger of Allah, my land was usurped by this man’s father, and it is in his hand. He said: Do you have proof? He said: No, but I will make him swear, and by Allah, he knows it is my land his father usurped. The Kindi prepared to swear, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: No one seizes property by an oath except that he meets Allah with his hand severed. The Kindi said: It is his land.
