Riyad as-Salihin, 1585
Ibn Mas'ud, Ibn 'Umar and Anas (May Allah be pleased with them) said:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "For every one who breaks his covenant, there will be a (huge) flag on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said: 'This flag proclaims a breach of covenant by so-and-so."' <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن ابن مسعود، وابن عمر، وأنس رضي الله عنهم قالوا: قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم :
لكل غادر لواء يوم القيامة، يقال: هذه غدرة فلان
((متفق عليه)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) The Hadith warns of treachery as one of the major sins.<br>
2) The greater the treachery is the greater will be the scandal and sinfulness of the treacherous on the Day of Judgment. That is, treachery committed against one person is not equal to that committed against a group or community. Hence, one can visualize how huge the sin of those who are treacherous towards the Muslims is. They only care for satiating their own desires and attaining their own interests. Allah Almighty is their Reckoner in the worldly life and the Hereafter.
