وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
قال الله تعالى: ثلاثة أنا خصمهم يوم القيامة : رجل أعطى بي ثم غدر، ورجل باع حرًا فأكل ثمنه، ورجل استأجر أجيرًا، فاستوفى منه، ولم يعطه أجره
((رواه البخاري)).
English translation
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah, the Exalted, says: 'I will contend on the Day of Resurrection against three (types of) people: One who makes a covenant in My Name and then breaks it; one who sells a free man as a slave and devours his price; and one who hires a workman and having taken full work from him, does not pay him his wages."' <b>[Al- Bukhari]</b>.
