Riyad as-Salihin, 203
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>
وعن جابر رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
اتقوا الظلم، فإن الظلم ظلمات يوم القيامة، واتقوا الشح فإن الشح أهلك من كان قبلكم، حملهم على أن سفكوا دماءهم واستحلوا محارمهم
((رواه مسلم)).
