English Translation

Abdullah ibn Tha'laba narrated that he went to Abd al-Rahman ibn Ka'b ibn Malik, who was wearing only a plain waist-wrap and was circumambulating behind the Ka'bah, wrapped in it. He was blind and being led. He said: I greeted him and he asked: "Who is this?" I said: "Abdullah ibn Tha'laba." He said: "The brother of Banu Haritha?" I said: "Yes, and the son-in-law of Juhayna." He said: "Yes." He asked: "Have you heard your father narrate a hadith that I heard him narrate from the Noble Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)?" He said: "I do not know." He said: "I heard your father say: I heard the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: 'Whoever seizes the property of a Muslim by a false oath, it will be a black stain in his heart that nothing will remove until the Day of Resurrection.'" This is a hadith with an authentic chain of transmission, though neither [al-Bukhari nor Muslim] recorded it with this wording. Rather, both agreed on the hadith of al-A'mash and Mansur from Abu Wa'il from Abdullah with its wording. [Authentic].
