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

I have been given to understand that you have taken possession of State-lands and that you have not only brought them under personal use but you have misappropriated State treasury also. Will you immediately send the detailed accounts (about both the items)? Remember that the reckoning of Allah is far more severe than any audit which man can carry out.
