Answer:
I have not heard this. The words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are:
He who appropriated the right of a Muslim by (swearing a false) oath, Allah would make Hell-fire necessary for him and would declare Paradise forbidden for him.
مَن اقتطع حقَّ امرئٍ مسلمٍ فقد أوجب الله له النار، وحرَّم عليه الجنةWhoever swears an oath by which he seizes the wealth of his brother without right, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him.
مَن حلف على يمينٍ يقتطع بها مال أخيه بغير حقٍّ لقي الله وهو عليه غضبانQ: Does Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) delay it in the Hereafter?
A: This is among its punishments, and the punishment may be hastened for him in this world. We ask Allah for well-being.
