Jabir bin 'Abdullah (May Allah bepleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Beware of injustice, for oppression will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection; and beware of stinginess because it doomed those who were before you. It incited them to shed blood and treat the unlawful as lawful." <b>[Muslim]</b>
