Muhammad bin Maslama (got up and) said, "I will kill him." So,
Muhammad bin Maslama went to Ka'b and said, "I want a loan of
one or two Wasqs of food grains." Ka'b said, "Mortgage your
women to me." Muhammad bin Maslama said, "How can we mortgage
our women, and you are the most handsome among the Arabs?" He
said, "Then mortgage your sons to me." Muhammad said, "How can
we mortgage our sons, as the people will abuse them for being
mortgaged for one or two Wasqs of food grains? It is shameful
for us. But we will mortgage our arms to you." So, Muhammad bin
Maslama promised him that he would come to him next time. They
(Muhammad bin Maslama and his companions came to him as promised
and murdered him. Then they went to the Prophet and told him
about it.

Allah while Allah will be angry with him." Allah revealed the

small gain at the cost of Allah's covenant And their oaths...a
painful torment." (3.77)
Al-Ash'ath bin Qais came to us and
asked as to what Abu Abdur-Rehman (i.e. Ibn Mas'ud) was telling
you." We related the story to him. On that he said, "He has told
the truth. This verse was revealed about me. I had some dispute
with another man regarding a well and we took the case before
Allah's Apostle. Allah's Apostle said (to me), "Produce two
witnesses (to support your claim); otherwise the defendant has
the right to take an oath (to refute your claim).' I said, 'The
defendant would not mind to take a false oath." Allah's Apostle
then said, 'Whoever took a false oath in order to grab someone
else's property will meet Allah, Allah will be angry with him.'
Allah then revealed what Confirmed it." Al-Ash'ath then recited
the following Verse:--"Verily! Those who purchase a small gain
at the cost of Allah's covenant, And their oaths . . . (to) . .
. they shall have a painful torment!' (3.77) (See Hadith No.
