The Treasure of Prophetic Teachings

Muhammad Hasan Ilyas English

—— 1 —— It is narrated from ʿIyāḍ ibn Ḥimār al-Mujāshiʿī (RA), that the God’s Messenger (PBUH) said one day in his sermon: “There will be five types of people in Hell: the weak person who has no restraint—those among you who are subordinate—who neither establishes a household nor strives for wealth and property; the treacherous person whose greed cannot remain concealed and who commits treachery even in a trivial matter; the person who deceives you morning and evening concerning your family and your property.” Thereafter, the Prophet (sws), mentioned miserliness or lying, and at the end he said: “and the one who transgresses all bounds, of evil character.” (Muslim, no. 5113) —— 2 —— It is narrated from ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAmr (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) said: “Whoever kills a person under covenant unjustly shall not even smell the fragrance of Paradise, though its fragrance is perceived from a distance of forty years’ journey.” (Al-Bukhārī, no. 2946) —— 3 —— It is narrated from Abū Hurayrah (RA) that the God’s Messenger (PBUH) said: “There are three people with whom God, exalted is He, will neither speak on the Day of Resurrection, nor look at them with a gaze of regard, nor purify them; and for them is a painful punishment: one who does not desist from fornication even in old age; second, one who, despite being a king, lies to people; and third, the person whom even poverty does not prevent from standing arrogantly against the truth.” (Musnad Isḥāq, no. 168)
