Riyad as-Salihin, 1852
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "There are three (types of) people whom Allah will neither speak to on the Day of Resurrection nor will He purify them (i.e., from their sins), nor will look upon them; and they will have a painful chastisement. These are: An old man who commits fornication; a king who is a great liar and a poor man who is proud." <b>[Muslim]</b>
وعنه رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
ثلاثة لا يكلمهم الله يوم القيامة، ولا يزكيهم، ولا ينظر إليهم ، ولهم عذاب أليم: شيخ زان، وملك كذاب، وعائل مستكبر
((رواه مسلم)). (4)

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) Adultery by an old man indicates his corrupt disposition, as old age usually prevents people from going after their desires.<br>
2) The power of authority should preclude lying. So, when a person tends to lie while he is in authority, this shows that he is corrupt and his authority is weak.<br>
3) A poor person has no reason to treat people arrogantly. So, if he acts like this, this points to his maliciousness and well-ingrained arrogance.
