(26) باب الرَّجُلِ يَحْلِفُ عَلَى عِلْمِهِ فِيمَا غَابَ عَنْهُ
Al-Ash'ath b. Qais said:
A men from Kindah and a men from Hadramawt came to the Holy Prophet(ﷺ)with their dispute about a land in the Yemen. The Hadrami said:Messenger of Allah, the this (man)had usurped land belonging to me, and it is his possession. He asked: Have you any proof ?He replied:No, but I can have him swear on oath. Allah knows that it is my land, and father seized it from me. The Kindi was prepared to take oath. He then narrated the rest of the tradition.
