English Translation
Al-Ash'ath ibn Qays said: This verse was revealed about me. There was a dispute between me and another man over property or land. I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and mentioned it. He said: "Do you have proof?" I said: "No." He said: "Then your opponent will be made to swear." I said: "He will swear falsely." He said: "Whoever swears a false oath to seize the property of another will meet Allah while He is angry with him." Then this verse was revealed confirming it.
